@datarama What I have generally observed with humans is that if they pretend or lie enough, they inevitably end up believing the lie and pretension, and end up broken. I think these people were lying for PR purposes initially, way back, but it's been far too long, and they've fallen far too deep in the rabbit hole.

@artagnon I said elsewhere that I generally think option 3 subsumes option 2. If you start out lying, but end up successfully deluding yourself to get *this* far out of touch, then you've effectively induced psychotic delusions in yourself, and should probably have psychiatric care.
