Facts are facts no matter what people think. Facts are things that look like a conspiracy to people who are wrong. If you thoroughly believe that 1 + banana = flashlight it looks like all the text books are against you, people don't believe in your "truth," and everyone you tries to convince of this thinks that you are wrong as well. The person who claims it in spite of all the evidence to the contrary looks insane to the rest of the world. They feel the world is against them, and even paid to be because...well, why else would they just not see the "truth?"
At the end of the day they are just wrong. It takes a degree of humility and introspection to know you aren't perfect. Some people refuse to have it though.
