The lure in such twisted dynamics is deep in other ways: it's a better story almost always, and we love stories, latch onto them, unlike facts requiring context, knowledge, interpretation, and can be ambiguous and simply denied.
At a more overtly psychological level it provides a sense of deeper or superior understanding, a status boost, and often signifies membership in a group that is "not fooled" and more vigilant, more conscientious and moral.
It's type of category of motivated thinking rooted in exaggerations and delusion. " -Stephen Douglas Daly
