Onodo Syndrome
When people care a lot for an idea or belief they are at risk of refusing to see the veracity of independently verifiable empirical evidence that proves those ideas or beliefs are totally erroneous. In effect they are blind-sighted to the facts they do not want to accept. This is a condition from which millions of people are suffering today with regard to Charles Darwin's and Alfred Wallace's proven plagiarism of Patrick Matthew's prior published theory of evolution by natural selection, and Darwin's and Wallace's proven lies to cover it up.
By way of analogy, Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda, refused to accept the evidence that WW2 was over and continued guerrilla operations until 1974. But he was not the last. Another Japanese soldier surrendered even later! See a useful article on this evidence blind-sight story here.
In time, committed Darwin fans will also finally surrender their erroneous desperate bias indoctrinated beliefs about his honesty and originality, These blind beliefs collapse in the face of superior dis-confirming facts that prove the whole Darwin edifice is another propaganda and profiteering business propped up Victorian science myth.
