Interesting, Glorp.
I'm still wondering if this happens intentionally or not.
I believe it does.
My belief is that once it was said (a long time ago), it is their intention to deny the reality that demonstrates it was wrong. This is done because they have come to a determination (a long time ago) and they recognize that reviewing the reality around them would very likely affect their determination.
It's is a supreme form of stubbornness.
But I guess that does not really answer my initial question - perchance, this stubborness is their mental inability to accept reality.
I wonder if there is any way to combat this issue?
