>> Think about a little kid anticipating Santa Claus coming down the chimney. Any little noise might be interpreted as reindeer hoofs, and if there should be some slight motion outside, in the sky, usually we think it's birds, but because it's a special day, we interpret it as a flying sleigh. Just as we wouldn't worry about the kids having hallucinations,...
The supplantation of this sort of hocus-pocus is passed down from one generation to the next... and we can't figure out why we're *crazy*?!
