"And also" isn't really redundant, either. It's true that "also" is often not truly needed, but it can serve to amplify or clarify our meaning. For instance, I might say "I want a sandwich, and also a bowl of ramen." Of course, the sentence works fine without the comma or the "also." However, that doesn't mean that we have a redundancy that must be removed. Certainly, "and" has to stay, since "also" can't work by itself, but we don't need to cut "also," either. Those extras are just a way of emphasizing that I want a whole additional thing beyond what we might expect. (Isn't a sandwich enough?)

Many people, willing to believe that German shepherds and Doberman pinchers might be fully domesticated, are unwilling to believe the same of pit bulls.

The highlighted part is set off by commas, but it provides relevant information about the statement. Can relevant information be set off by a pair of commas?
