You're speaking from experience?

I'm a bit confused by this. Could you unpack it a bit more? Maybe with a specific example?

OK, I could for instance criticise the lengths some Orthodox Jews go to, to avoid infringing their rules on the Sabbath, without actually trying to observe those rules myself.

Well, just green eggs in this house. We're vegetarians(we do eat eggs).

I learned to bake in my early teens, and baked myself a lot of cakes. My sisters used to get into them, and that would really **** me off...

I started using green food coloring to dye the cakes green, and I told them the cakes were moldy. That worked to keep them out of them.

I was such an oddball, they believed I'd eat moldy cake...

A friend of mine used blue food colour to dye his whipped cream. His sister and mother wouldn't touch it. Would probably have gone well with your green cake.

Why does the mind jump to these conclusions?

I think it's simulation.
