The older I get, the more I think it's just built in. "Kill the Pig, Suck
his Blood". I think Golding had it about right.
All of this certainly makes no sense in a rational world. It would seem that
IFB is being rather deliberately misunderstood to provide an excuse to rant

One of the first things we should learn in working with people, as you and I
both have, is to stop trying to provide rational explanations for irrational
acts. No, they don't make any 'sense'.
