If I'm wrong about this, show me an example otherwise!
I know that when I have tried to approach "someone who should hear this," they often reject out of hand my information, saying "If this were true, I would have heard of it before now," or, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
This phenomenon really kind of creeps me out. I have demonstrated it to myself time and time again. I have not found a way around it. It is what causes people to believe in conspiracy theories - what else could it be but a conspiracy of silence? Or a curse by the Gods on the likes of Cassandra!
But, no, it is just a human social phenomenon that I don't understand. Creepy!
