It have often wondered, why can't he/she/they see how CRAZY that idea is! No doubt others have thought the same about my thinking.
I once heard a partial theory to explain this sort of weird disconnect. It was this: our brains are such (almost said designed - whooo) that likely as a scheme to aid thinking we classify items partially as to their "truthiness". Some items or ideas get the gold standard and get the "fact" file designation, while most get descending reliability designations. Finally without proper deep and hard to come by authority, these designations, especially the "fact" ones can't be changed. What do you think?
