Y'know...I really used to think that the weight of being wrong in light of bulletproof evidence would change people's minds about pretty much anything.
It doesn't. It really doesn't.
And I think that's because on some level people identify so deeply with the things that they believe that to change their mind in light of new evidence feels like some sort of betrayal instead of a logical step.
