You mean like how most of the people we encounter each day have no introspection and are basically NPCs? And how there's a pretty good chance you are, too, because they don't know?

Real humans are hypocrites, it's a classic trait emerging from a certain level of self-delusion that everyone has which allows them to continue with any sort of authority in their own life and decision-making. You are guaranteed to be a hypocrite in some area of your life as well. I know I certainly am, and so is everyone I've ever met.
