To be fair, it is difficult to rebuild one's understanding of the world after finding out that your previous understanding was built on fundamentally wrong ideas. Not that I'm excusing people who respond to cognitive dissonance by digging deeper into willful ignorance โ€” after all, the reason why I know it's hard is because I've done that work myself (a couple of times). I do have some sympathy though.
