A hyper-religious context might have started a strong meme
This doesn’t mean that I think they were all liars and con-men. I think it’s almost expected that given the fact that their extreme disappointment took place in a hyper-religious context a leader might claim a vision of the crucified Jesus and others would be all too eager make similar claims and convince themselves that they really were grasping a some important truth.
Harold Camping and his followers have taught us that disconfirmation doesn’t really count in religious contexts where alternative interpretations can work like a buffet line.
