You know...that thing you're harping on about now....the fallacy you seemed to have googled -after- having made up this idiotic little story -around it-. Please, though, continue with your explanation of dissonance, and what people do when they get "called out on their shit".........
I don't think they would have helped "him", because they -didn't- help "him". They don't seem to be helping you either, in this instance, huh?
You continue to show your ignorance in the fact that when it comes down to it you don't have an intelligent response, just name calling and insistence that what you keep implying must be true because you keep implying it. If you re read your post, you said that his upbringing came first so it must have caused it. That is the post hoc fallacy. Yes I did google it. And it was easy to find because its apparently a common fallacy used. You keep seeming to think that I am saying that the principles were like a magic song that you sing and then you get a protective orb. The point that I keep making is that some of the principles would have helped his situation. If you got counseling on buying a new home and then your home got foreclosed because you didn't listen to or follow your counsel given, it would be your fault. You couldn't go back and blame the counselors if you didn't listen to them. Its beyond me that you can't comprehend such a simple point
