Vincent, I completely agree with your suspicions! I just think that isn't the entire equation. If you've never had an A or a B, a 1 or 2 may determine whether you go A or B that first time. (I think it's common for people to have beliefs concerning stuff they've never encountered.) But after that, once the ball is rolling, then yeah, there's more causality in the opposite direction.
As for your second post, I do think it's plausible that nutjobs really believe stuff that sane people just "believe", but I certainly have no evidence of that.
