"Even if it isn't strictly true, even if the hard data in no way supports it as a factual reality - it doesn't really cost us anything to placate or humor those who seem so emotionally invested, and pretend that it is." This mindset is so wrong, on every level. Lies disorient us.. the biggest and most impactful have the power to disorient us on the deepest levels.. because we seem so enamored with technical terms, in our age, I've taken to calling it the 'hollow-cost fallacy'.
