   It is rather the reverse actually. Why shouldn't you doubt your thoughts,   
   if you doubt your senses? If some evil demon messes with your sensory   
   input, he can just as well add thoughts to your thoughts, or play all   
   kinds of tricks with you.   
      
   Doubting one, and not the other is not consistent thinking.
