On the contrary. I’m reminded of a widely cited quote from Roland Bathes

In another vernacular we could talk about cognitive dissonance. I’m also reminded, by Eleanor Gibson’s comment, of a very old experiment by Sherif which I feel sure you will know:
Muzafer Sherif (1937)
An Experimental Approach to the Study of Attitudes
Sociometry
Vol. 1, No. 1/2 (Jul. - Oct., 1937), pp. 90-98
The richness and texture of life is often much more interesting than our bland declarations about what is or is not the case.
Warm Wishes,
David
