Considering that hypocrisy is a species-wide psychology trait of humans,
is it at all surprising that often "looking for answers" means "I want
*this*, but I don't have evidence supporting it"? Of course, this means
that the subconscious often totally deludes the conscious mind on this issue.
The "answer" is then the "evidence" [rationalization and blatantly
incorrect statements are "evidence" here ;O] that *this* is correct.
When someone else offers an "answer" that directly assaults *this*,
the "seeker" reacts/responds to the offerer of the "false answer" with
religious fury.
