The extreme cases can be found in cults where followers cling tighter to their beliefs once exposed.
A great example are the followers of Harold Camping, the Christian radio broadcaster who predicted the end of the world a few years ago, and kept re-predicting when it never came.

DustinCalim | 11 years ago | on: Ask HN: Work/life balance – Significant other complains you work too much?
I suggest you spend a few minutes and do a deep session of introspection and meditate on what your true priorities are.
It's not nearly as easy as it sounds...
Here are some questions to get you rolling: Why are you working so much? For you? For someone else? For the money? If so, why? What will you do with that money? Is it for you? A family? Do you find yourself enjoying your girlfriend more than your work? What do you get out of your relationship? Why are you with this person? Why are you working on your specific project?
The idea is to discover what you truly value and align your priorities with that– Good luck!

There is no faster way to suck the emotion out of a relationship than to put a schedule at the center of it, and hiding behind the excuse of the schedule is just deferring responsibility.

power = P(reject null hypothesis | null hypothesis is false)
From the abstract:
I conclude with several recommendations that can increase the credibility of scientific evidence in psychological journals. One major recommendation is to pay more attention to the power of studies to produce positive results without the help of questionable research practices and to request that authors justify sample sizes with a priori predictions of effect sizes. It is also important to publish replication studies with nonsignificant results if these studies have high power to replicate a published finding.

but I think the legitimate concern here is that while we squabble about resources and their cost, the virus spreads and mutates - and if it makes the jump to airborne, I think it will make the average Joe Smith pretty vulnerable.
