The concept of 'willing suspension of disbelief'* is, I suspect (from observation) incomprehensible to some minds. These are the single-minded: not necessarily single of purpose** (although it may be easier for them to be so), but single of mind. Something either is true, or it isn't. If it isn't, there is no point in it. This reliable and in many ways commendable attitude to life has one big drawback as a working rule: it makes change difficult for Humans to initiate.
