Seems like most of us former members of LLLeft Political Organizations would be all too familiar with that syndrome; and that all the current members of such groups are entirely convinced that it is true--of all the others. And even on this List there seems to be, for many, something of a commandment to believe such "improbable" (virtually impossible) things as that the total absence of US air defenses on the morning of 11 September 2001 was a natural coincidence.
