Which is possible when we consider just how strong the effects of bias are.

Yes, it occurred to me I did overstate my case slightly. I ought to have said there are two possibilities:

1. They're right, or 2. There is a very strong bias causing them to ignore their senses

And the OP should have enquired which is the case. I think either is possible, while I edged too strongly towards the former.
