Here's a more pertinent URL:
http://www.schizophrenia.com/family/delusions.html
"The experience is so real that many schizophrenics are convinced someone
has implanted a broadcasting device in their bodies. Or they come to believe
in a supernatural explanation for the strange sensation. It is so real to
the person that it cannot be dismissed as imagination."
"Delusions are false beliefs or misinterpretations of events & their
significance. For instance, a person may get accidentally bumped in the
subway & may conclude that this is a Government plot to harass him."
How much of UFO lore is a product of the addled minds of schizophrenics?
No matter how hard you try, in fact very much in spite of it, these
whack-jobs steadfastly refuse to be persuaded by thousands of "mere"
solid provable repeatable verified facts.
They work on the the opposite principle of Occam's Razor,
(I'll call it Occam's Blind-fold, until a better name surfaces):
The LESS LIKELY an explanation, the more tenaciously they cling to it.
So, if you show to them that an explanation is utterly impossible,
they will be completely convinced of its soundness and veracity on
that alone!
