This was the one possibility I came up with for defense mechanism. It is true that I don't like to be wrong - although it seems rather unprovable. Don't want to choose wrong so see all possibilities so I don't miss one OR see all possibilities therefore, don't choose wrong. Kind of an associative property thing going on; hard to tell which came first.

It's a movie therefore the writers and everyone else working on the movie want to entertain the masses. It's how try make their money. We are a society of action and being given everything needed to go forward. So by cultural standards it must follow that line of thinking in order to succeed.

I may have overplayed the show examples a bit. I chose those examples because they are examples that anyone reading might have seen - rather than using examples from my life. For instance, a psych test question that just stopped me in my tracks:
"People seem to lie to me often."
Do they mean that people try to deceive me often or do they mean that people tell me things that are untrue often? The first answer is false, the second is true.
