It's very true. And of course it helps create a trap - something everyone can fall into.
If they're in a system of standards - conventional, unconventional - that they later have challenged ... for example! Let's say they find out a child needs to 'steal' to feed themselves, or a soldier finds that the people who 'deserved' to die are still people. [ He kept using silly airquotes there, as he grinned. ]
The human trap is that they'll lie to themselves to keep justifying their own standards, because people are afraid of being wrong.
