When a person watches ESPN and sportscenter all the time, they are listening constantly to the pundits talking about this team vs that team, and I think part of the reason why they do this is to be able to socialize with their friends and co workers about sports. This does something insidious to their brains, where they are trained and rewarded to regurgitate the content that they hear on the news without really thinking about it. Of course no one is going to lie about who won and what the score was, and what plays were made. These same people are the ones parroting little phrases like "Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences"
If you had to draw a perspective drawing every day for 20 years and then you were left alone to doodle, would you be more likely to draw a perspective drawing, or an impressionist piece? People's brains are shaped a certain way on purpose.
