Yeah. I feel like partly too it's like those hypnosis experiments where people will invent literally just any nonsense to explain why they did / said something, and it makes perfect sense to them -- it's like now that I have staked out position X, I'm going to just wrap whatever nonsense around it that I need to, to make it all consistent after the fact.
Like, as related to that whole analogy I asked the guy about in the thread I linked to — yeah sure, if someone came to your house and did that, you'd totally do whatever they asked and it would be wrong of you to try to resist. Absolutely dude. 100%. Makes perfect sense and I feel silly for questioning it now.
