My theory is that whenever a person's identity is challenged, they defend. And 'definition of reality' falls squarely into a person's identity.

Many times, a decoy motive is used to explain the anger. Such as: "Somebody needs to protect all of the gullible masses who will be suckered into buying a bunch of useless nonsense."
