That's not a defense. They could have gotten the pen and paper out themselves and ran through some numbers to quickly verify their view of the world was way out of alignment with reality - but they didn't do it. Why? Because they preferred their view of the world, reality be damned.

- dwaltrip 3y agoIt’s expected generational behavior. Younger generations want to change things and think they are unique and special, older generations are like “nah you don’t get it just wait until you are older”. Both are right to varying degrees and depending on the circumstances. But those seems like the default views, and it takes effort to see when they don’t apply.
