They WANTED it to be true.

AI Summary:

Willing suspension of disbelief.

"Willing suspension of disbelief" refers to the audience's choice to temporarily set aside doubts and accept the unreal or impossible elements presented in a story, whether in literature, theater, film, or other narratives. This allows for a deeper engagement and enjoyment of the fictional world, even when it contains elements that contradict real-world logic or plausibility.
