"No amount of evidence to the contrary, including confession by the fraud who performed the tricks, is good enough to sway the True Believer."
No matter how often the confidence scammers are exposed, those
who believe will happily continue to pay cold hard cash to be
deceived.
"The true-believer syndrome merits study by science.
What is it that compels a person, past all reason, to
believe the unbelievable? How can an otherwise sane
individual become so enamored of a fantasy, an
imposture, that even after it's exposed in the bright
light of day he still clings to it--- indeed, clings to
it all the harder?
"The true-believer syndrome is the greatest thing
phony mediums have going for them. No amount of logic
can shatter a faith consciously based on a lie."
No amount of evidence to
the contrary, including confession by the fraud who performed
the tricks, is good enough to sway the True Believer. If you
are among these poor souls, well, you have my sympathy, but you
must admit you "had it comming to you." After all, you
believe the impossible--- shouldn't you pay for such stupidity? |
