The answer I usually find myself utterly is "maybe they aren't".

Believing something is true when it's obviously false is stupid. But 
claiming something is true when there's some benefit to doing this... 
that's not stupid at all. Arguably, that's the smart thing to do. (See: 
Any crime drama you care to name. The smart people are the liars. Or the 
detective. Hopefully.)
