Like convincing yourself to believe in something despite lack of evidence
of evidence to the contrary in order to satisfy some need (e.g. comfort) other
than truth? Maybe *that* is what Richard means by Level-3. Yes, I can imagine
some special situations where one would be better off by acting illogically,
but (and this is a big but) as a general strategy, irrational thinking is
a recipe for disaster. (At least my logic memes say so :)
