I once read that the automotive industry tried a gage that read full when full, not 1/8 inch over full on the meter, and of course started dropping right away as you consumed gas, instead of staying over the full mark for the first 50 miles. But, people didn't like it. They liked the 'feeling' of still having a full tank even after driving a good amount.
This can be seen everywhere you look, the idea of us people trying to fool our brains. It is a reality that we human beings like to pretend things are different than they really are, even though we know better. It does not stop at childhood.
