Yes, and reservations can also be explained by the psychology of belief. It takes courage to submit our beliefs to the glare of rational and empirical scrutiny. Especially if those beliefs are long cherished and connected with our sense of personal identity.


I agree, but if that is the case then the focus of the conversation becomes about something else entirely, rather than a simple question of whether one can accomplish a particular task.
If fear of failure is due to the possibility of a loss of personal identity, we are looking at something much deeper.

People can find great comfort in holding beliefs which cannot necessarily be proven, and I am not against that in any way.
