but you can't negotiate if you get caught breaking the law of physics that dictates what happens if you drive into a tree. No matter what you think will happen if you drive your car into a big, solid tree, no matter what you hope will happen, no matter what you want to happen, no matter what you believe will happen, what actually happens is under the control of the universe, not your own mind.

you want to look up the term "Semmelweis-Reflex" (or 'I'dont believe in bacteria')
But
labeling is a nice point to the problem, my personal example:
I live in Germany; everytime when - being confronted with people living here for
dozens of years and hardly speaking a word - I
dare to say that it'd be a kind of respect and every day social cooperation to have put more effort into learning the local language, there will be
always someone in the crowd telling me that I'm a Nazi-a*hole.
Telling them that I'm far from expecting something I would not be able to achieve myself, because German is NOT my primary language (it's Polish, but i speak both free of influences, and accent of the other) telling this and really
seeing in their eyes their "label-attaching machine" getting jammed is always an interesting and funny experience.
