Here is a non-IT article that discusses how Human Mind reacts to stories.
From the Article:
When a fact is plausible, we still need to test it. When a story is plausible, we often assume it’s true.
I might refuse money to a man who says that his car broke down; I might question him, ask to see his stalled vehicle, or offer him a ride to a gas station. But I’m unlikely to refuse if the man says that he is trying to make it to his sick child. I can dismiss your hard logic, but not how you feel.
Give me a list of reasons, and I can argue with it. Give me a good story, and I can no longer quite put my finger on what, if anything, should set off my alarm bells.
