Isn't that what you would expect? People with any knowledge about it wouldn't be stupid enough to question its validity. Its not a trend on this forum, its a trend of the world.
That's why some of the nonsense found on the Internet is such a joke. I'm not a psychologist but I do realize that a real mental disease is very different to thinking thoughts that sounds like one. A common mistake is to see logic as being a disease.

Reading about a mental disease is one thing but meeting someone in an asylum with the real thing is an eye opener and could be a surprise.
Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.
Bertrand Russell

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.
