I think it's generally preferring a comfortable delusion to accepting reality on its own terms. The pathetic, ludicrous arguments people throw up to try and defend these stories can't be convincing even to themselves. They just want them to be true, I think. And they don't want to face the consequences of having to admit they've been deceived.
