Here’s some additional reading that supports your argument:
Distract yourself. You’re more honest about your actions when you can’t exert the mental energies necessary to rationalize your actions.
And the (subconcious) desire to avoid appearinghypocritical is a huge motivator.
I’ve noticed this in myself often. I faithfully watched LOST through the third season, explaining to my friends who had lost interest around the first season that it was, in fact, an awesome show. And then I realized it kind of sucked.
