You have assumed all adults act like adults. A substancial number are still children. So you see them buying miracle herbs at the health food stores, smoking cigarettes to increase health, and actually believing Saddam had WMDs only because that was the first thing they were told - without any facts or numbers.
Many if not most adults still make decisions like children - based in their feelings - reality (or considering the consequences) be damned. These adults live for the moment - like a child.
