Incidentally this is how people get embedded in theism. In my own case I was presented with some "proofs" of religion when I was 14; they weren't terrible actually but in retrospect had logical holes. But once they get embedded in your mind, they are very hard to get out. You have to pull yourself out by your own hair, so to say. Or have an emotionally significant event of large magnitude happen to you.
Interesting! I wonder whether there is already a name for this bias. Does it fall under the "cached thought" unbrella perhaps?
It's like cached thoughts, but deeper, since you end up building up on the original though and it becomes a whole web of interconnected beliefs.
