This has nothing to do with intelligence or education. It's simply that our brains are wired that way. For most things, doing that works. So we want it to work for everything. And, when it does not work, we tend to pick and choose the facts until they fit a pattern, follow a rule, have some reason, or can be blamed on someone else.
One of those picked-and-chosen facts is that none of us (people like Callie, me, many others) wrote the programs. So, when we say it's not done, out statement does not fit the chosen rule (that is: the program favors someone else and is cheating ME!). So our assurances fall on deaf ears.
I know the feeling when I get the same gender over and over and over ...
Somehow I do not care much ultimately so I have no feelings of unfairness and all.
Of course it is a set back for my breeding plans but I think I like the kitties too much to really care.
Kitties are no golden egg poopers to me I'm just an insane cat woman with too many cats
