Ask HN: What is your example of 'theory-induced blindness'?

What examples have you come across where a person or group was unable to accept flaws in a theory because they have already built the theory into their mental model of the world? For example, some economists do not accept evidence of the 'low-volatility anomaly' because of their belief in the efficient market hypothesis.
