When any cognitive beliefs resist disproof by evidence, they are not factual beliefs.
They are secondary cognitive attitudes backed up by religious credence or political fervour.
The backing of the attitude in this case is strong enough to hide/normalise the split and oscillation between factual and imagined reality.
