Yeah. We see this in... other areas of life in living color.
People would much rather choose to believe they were cheated than deal with the emotions associated with a loss.
Honesty brings with it responsibility, truth. Truth is seldom sweet; almost invariably bitter. Anger is much easier. Anger only ever confirms what we already believe about ourselves. Comfortable, lets us play the victim, makes us feel important.
