21. However, if two people view the same situation in completely different ways...
One cannot help but to examine other views they each espouse, entertain, and so forth. Generalizations are made, and certainly not 100% accurate, but that's not the point.

For example, to use two big, prevailing points of contention, if you think the idea that the 00 and 04 elections were stolen is "crazy," and if you believe that evedn the idea of govt involvement/complicity in 9/11 is "crazy," and that anyone who entertains such views is "crazy," and thus worthy of open displays of contempt, then chances are good that the person who finds these ideas and their various evidence "crazy" will also immediately seek to dismiss other information that isn't held by the mainstream i.e. "professional," "level-headed" etc. It's about perception management, "winning hearts and minds," and so forth.
