Really? It seems entirely in character to me. If anything, there were probably players who wanted to put this behind them but didn't because their character wouldn't, and wanted their character to be convinced on top of them.
I'm sure that's the case for some. As the primary driver of the dysfunction, though, I think that reason is at odds with the vast catalog of chatter between people in Luria and D'Hara about the issue on the forums.
