   Once you learn about human reasoning you will find it *always* comes down to   
   feelings.  You may have conditioned yourself to weight your feelings on   
   "logic", but it still comes down to feelings and we have ways of working   
   around the logic when we want to.   
      
   As you say, too often we take a bypass based on some limited experience or   
   even anecdote we've heard that gives us a "feeling" with little rational   
   process behind it.  See a couple of bad capacitors from any given company or   
   category of supplier and a strong bias develops which works to bypass that   
   source.
