Re: Cosplay Pictures/Interviews of Andy and Abbey

To be fair, I don't think most of the world knows how one makes the Olympic team.

It's FAR more than a matter of "to be fair". It's literally how Andy keeps getting away with all his lies, no matter how ridiculous: by betting on 2 simple facts:

1. that most people he talks to don't know more than he does;

2. that people who know better (or think they know better) won't dare contradict him because who would lie about something like that?

It doesn't matter whether people know better about anything than Andy does, because either way, they won't contradict him. And if they do speak up against him (like for example when the Caps talk about psychosis), they are not believed anyway, because once again, who would lie about something like that? It's much easier to believe that somehow both Andy and the Caps are right, or that Andy is wrong about having schizophrenia but he himself doesn't know he's wrong, than to believe he's just outright lying about it.

People will always believe Andy, no matter what he says, and even if they personally know better than he does, simply because it's too hard to disbelieve someone who seems so sincere.
