As a rather crude example, I've always wondered why some people - particularly men - find it so difficult to spot fake breasts when the see them. This is by no mean me bragging, but I'm 99.9% sure that if 100 topless women were to be lined up in front of me, with only 3 of them having natural breasts, I would be able to pick out those three by sight alone and without the aid of clues such as touching or asking the women to jump up and down.
But I still find myself in situations where I'll be watching TV with friends and a woman with breats like footballs appears, and someone will say, "Look at the size of them. Do you think they're real?" Why can't they see that they're not when it's so obvious?
Another example is American wrestling. I hate it because of it's phoneyness and pretence. I'm not denying the althetism and skill of these guys, but it's pantomine and nothing else. And yet you get guys who are convince it's real, and who get very upset if you claim otherwise.
