I just love protestations of innocence. You do, of course, know what that phrase means, but I'll explain anyway:

If you refuse look at something, its impossible to see, nobody can make you, and so you are doomed to not know what you don't want to know.

Like some women/men who refuse to acknowledge that the spouse is flagrantly cheating on them when everyone around them knows it and pities them. And I have yet to see an instance like that when, after the truth shakes out and the dust settles and denial is no longer possible that the injured party didn't say, "The clues were all there, I should have been paying more attention".

And all around us there are millions of people who once believed the OCT because the alternative was too painful, but who are now saying, "The clues were all there, I should have been paying more attention".

Funny how that works.
