This is actually tied to a known phenomenon called the "backfire effect." I believe it came up in my psych or sociology classes in HS and college. Though I don't think it's quite what is happening with what the OP suggests given the alleged rarity of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias The backfire effect is a name for the finding that given evidence against their beliefs, people can reject the evidence and believe even more strongly.[130][131] The phrase was first coined by Brendan Nyhan and Jason Reifler in 2010.[132] However, subsequent research has since failed to replicate findings supporting the backfire effect.[133] One study conducted out of the Ohio State University and George Washington University studied 10,100 participants with 52 different issues expected to trigger a backfire effect. While the findings did conclude that individuals are reluctant to embrace facts that contradict their already held ideology, no cases of backfire were detected.[134] The backfire effect has since been noted to be a rare phenomenon rather than a common occurrence[135] (compare the boomerang effect). I wouldn't put a ton of stock into it, but neat to think about I suppose. --- My Social Server, Eevee's Mystery Dungeon: https://discord.gg/emd My PMD Rescue Server: https://discord.gg/E57gMQq <cite>Eevee-Trainer posted [p:937414098] in Why do boo...
