Ok, maybe I can explain it better.

Um, maybe believing in fairies. Yeah. So let's say you've believed in fairies your whole life. Then someone who never did comes along and explains that, scientifically, it's not possible. They give extensive proof that fairies are not real (*clap x3*), but you still don't believe them. Why? Because it's harder for you to see the faults in the fake things (not necessarily fairies of course) that your parents or others want you to believe (probably because they think it's adorable) because you don't want that part of you to leave your life. A lot of people are afraid that if they stop believing in something, they'll become another person. Or maybe it's just not wanting to leave your entire childhood behind. Even if the opposing argument is more logical than yours, you continue to try and persuade the other person, and yourself, that your side is right for these reasons.
