Maybe this is because there is something very different about you that justifies it, or maybe it is some idiosyncratic blind spot or bias of yours.

Or, most likely of all, it's because I don't care to justify it. If you want to call "not wanting to justify a stance" a bias or blind spot, I'm ok with that.

Hope that helps articulate where I'm coming from in your language. This is hard to write and think about.
