It's called "cognitive dissonance".
If someone passionately disagrees with you, accusing him of cognitive dissonance works always. So you can assume high ground by being right and being capable of seeing the motivations of the other party. (Or it might be that your opponent actually passionately disagrees. But lets not talk about that.)
- zamalek 11y ago> cognitive dissonance Very, very close to what was referring to. As I recall there is a biological reason underpinning effects like cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias (Freudian Denial in general). I could just be remembering things incorrectly and you may have hit the nail on the head.
