It is the problem with man being not a rational species, but a rationalizing species. We are expert at rationalizing our way to outcomes we desire, regardless of objective data. For example, if you are very wealthy, and desire NOT to pay taxes to help those less lucky than you, then you posit the hypothesis that they are just lazy, because anyone could be rich like you if they worked as hard as you did. The fact that most people may actually work harder than you, and that you got where you are through a series of lucky accidents, as much as your own efforts, is conveniently ignored.
