"Once we have made up our minds about an issue, stubborn consistency allows us a very appealing luxury: We really don’t have to think hard about the issue anymore.
We don’t have to sift through the blizzard of information we encounter every day to identify relevant facts; we don’t have to expend the mental energy to weigh the pros and cons; we don’t have to make any further tough decisions.
Instead, all we have to do when confronted with the issue is to turn on our consistency tape … and we know just what to believe, say, or do. We need only believe, say, or do whatever is consistent with our earlier decision."
