Take the guy from hard knocks this last season, William Hayes. He does not believe Dinosaurs are real, but he does believe mermaids are real. He was taken to a museum where they had actual skeletons and he actually asked the question "if we never saw them how do we know how to put them back together?". At the end of his tour the lady asked if he believed they were real now, he replied no he actually believes now more so they weren't real.

Basically people form opinions on things and don't change their minds.

Got a problem with Mermaids?? Why you, you serenephobe!
