I thought about a while Rhythm, and I will answer from my belief, yes "choosing to believe a person can't fly" is possible and not only possible, it seems to me that is what happens.
On shiachat, there is a member, who was raised as a secular Christian, then became a Muslim for very short while, then Agnostic Deist, then became Agnostic Atheist, and was very rational, questioned everything...but then with various factors pulling him to Islam, and despite reading problems in Quran that are objectively proven to be problem, etc, he ended up believing in Islam. Now he believes in Mohammad who split the moon, rode to heaven, Imams after who did miracles, and a man that is living for over a thousand years...all with no real evidence....that's not all too different from then from believing he can fly, in fact, hadiths state Imams can fly..I dunno if he believes in that or came across those hadiths, but you get the point.
So it's a choice to remain rational and stick to rational thought from my experience.
It's a choice you don't follow new Age people going on about energy and stuff like that. It's a choice my friend. And important one as well.
