that goes far beyond the faith healing that we're discussing here. I see it in all sorts of arenas, where people simply don't question what's presented to them. It's why we have things like housing bubbles, or the notion that you should "Do your colors" and wear the colors that are (according to this) the right ones for you.

On a relatively trivial level we see it with all those quizzes on the internet: What animal are you? What season are you? Which work of great literature are you? What state should you live in? That someone can cobble together eight or ten questions and then categorize the test taker is silly at best. Maybe no one is actually taking them seriously, but they are just another aspect of how gullible and unquestioning most people are.
