I didn't say it was the only interpretation. It's just among the subsets of implications. It is those implications that drive peoples' attitude towards a GREAT deal of things.

How do you think people still dislike good things they only heard about from the grape vine? Why do people view positive political policy that'd directly help them as "stupid", too? Why was "Obamacare" a bad thing but the Affordable Care Act wasn't? Why do some people dislike Mr Beast despite all the charity?

Yes it's stupid in some cases, but this IS ABSOLUTELY how some people think.

Like it or not, but this is how people work. Call how the human mind works stupid all you want, but ignoring how it works will bring you only ignorance.
