Because the case where you are entirely wedded to a particular conclusion and want to just ignore the contrary evidence would look awfully similar...
In fact that case is just a special case of the former with you having bad priors.
Not quite, your priors might be good. We're talking here about ignoring evidence and that's a separate issue from whether your priors are adequate or not.
