The inability to separate fantasy from reality is a massive problem.
People who start with an idea and then after the fact seek to prove it to be true end up grasping at straws and going on schizophrenic searches.
This is why people indulge in things like numerology, astrology, reading too much into holy books, song lyrics, etc.
They end up looking for things that were never there to begin with because they want their fantasies to be true.
Usually this is just somebody with way too much time on their hands, but sometimes a malicious person can use this to mislead and draw people into making bad decisions.
This is fundamentally different from looking at what actually exists, and then making a judgement based on that.
