Finally, when 5-year-olds hear about a competition whose outcome was unclear, they are more likely to believe a person who claimed that he had lost the race (a statement that goes against his self-interest) than a person who claimed that he had won the race (a statement that goes with his self-interest). In a limited sense, then, they are capable of cynicism.-- Paul Bloom and Deena Skolnick Weinberg, "Childhood Origins of Adult Resistance to Science", Science, 18 May 2007
