I don't think it was here, but group dynamics
is rather strange: groups can believe just
about anything as long as it protects the
integrity of the group.

Part of that is that we don't live in reality:
we live in a constructed reality that hopefully
bears some relationship to actual reality, but
which doesn't have to as long as it's coherent
and helps our survival.
