This is always the case when one refuses to open their eyes.
What I find interesting about this discussion is you provide insight to both sides no matter how it falls. Others only provide one side. Very easy to tell who has their eyes open and who has their head buried in the sand.
Thank you. I was taught to always question my natural first impression and accept that my mind is crooked but the truth is straight, and I have to bend my mind to conform with reality, resisting the natural urge to attempt to explain reality according to my preconceptions.
I'll often approach something and say 'how do I know, maybe it's the exact opposite'? And to be sure one way or the other, you have to make then best argument for each side to evaluate them accurately.
