    They cannot prove the existence of the unicorns, and thus they cannot define the unicorn’s reaction to the shoes being worn. Perhaps the unicorns are fake, perhaps the unicorns do not mind sharing the shoe space with the feet (and are capable of compressing), or maybe the unicorns even prefer to be compressed by feet.

    Just about any person could go into a panic while in a state of stress and do something irrational, and just about everyone does at least a few times. In a shared moment of stress, you might see more empathy because “any of us could have panicked/froze/etc.,” but if it’s just you, “something’s wrong with that person.”
