About rationalization - people sometimes will argue their claim by posting research that shows ___ fill in the blank.
But - in the next post, use the argument "well, everyone's different", to back up a claim. People can't have it both ways - either everyone has similar qualities or the evidence posted cannot possibly apply to everyone here.
Many of us know about the imperfections of research but I'd say someone who does this MIGHT be using rationalization as a defense and might be in denial. I have no idea who does this, i just have seen it before here and elsewhere.
