There's simply some **** with humans that defies all logic and reason. |
It defies
your ability to understand it. That does not mean that it defies
objective logic. Seriously, you are committing a recognized logical fallacy, and you need to question your premise.
Argument from incredulity - RationalWiki

Another form, the argument from personal incredulity, takes the form "I can't believe P, therefore not-P." Merely because one cannot believe that, for example, homeopathy is no more than a placebo does not magically make such treatment effective. Clinical trials are deliberately designed in such a way that an individual personal experience is not important compared to data in aggregate. Human beings have extremely advanced pattern recognition skills, to the extent that they are objectively poor judges of probability.
