Joe, I don't understand why you think the order might be
reversed. To resort to authority is essentially to cease thinking and to
unquestioningly accept. There's no cognitive dissonance avoidance
necessary. But if we begin with trying to avoid dissonance, and society
forces us to confront it, then authority is one possible resort.
(Leon Festinger's school of research would suggest still other
possibilities of dissonance reduction.)
