When a person screams "You LIE!" at you, I think that's a sign that you're actually penetrating their bubble. As John Dewey once quipped, "you'll sooner pry a miser from his hoard than a man from his most cherished beliefs." (Apologies for the sexist language.) But the sign you're getting through, that there's a crack in the edifice, and -- more importantly -- they realize that there is a crack in the edifice, their reaction is fury and denial.
