Us humans tend to believe
-Anectodal stories [see anti vaccination stories]
-What others around us believe [even if they have the IQ of a head of lettuce]
-It happens to others, not to us [until it does]
More than pesky abstract facts. Of course, you can be taught this is so, and work with it, but most people aren't (it's not part of the curriculum) and so people can be played and manipulated using basic psychology.
[though perhaps there's no big plan behind all this, and it's just simply incompetence]
