It's an element of cognitive science called "confirmation bias", which is a phenomenon wherein proponents of a claim are shown to actively seek out and assign more weight to evidence that confirms their hypotheses, and ignore and/or underweigh evidence that could disconfirm their hypotheses. And as such, it can be thought of as a form of selection bias in evaluating evidence.
It's a technique that
jroa frequently (if unwittingly) utilises.
And bear in mind that earlier on,
jroa attempted to derail this thread about Korea by posting: "Iran pretended to launch a monkey into space and retrieve him. However, before and after pictures of the monkey show that they were obviously two different monkeys". He then—ironically—posts: "Why do you people [REs] like to bounce around so much?"
