I think people just like to protect what they think and what they have. Maybe there is a bit of adversarial lawyer in all of us. A parent will usually defend and heap praise on their child in public(not saying what they might think and say in private). I remember as a child in my room hearing the mothers of my friends who were loud when playing cards brag about my friends and of course I knew otherwise. Maybe our choices of boats anchors and other stuff is in a way an extension of self and takes on emotional baggage like the cars some of us buy.
