I suspect that some of my dissonance does result from an illusion of consistency and a failure to appreciate how multi-faceted people can really be. I naturally think of people as agents and not as a collection of different cognitive circuits. I’m not ready to assume that this explains all of the gap between my expectations and reality, but it’s probably part of it.
