Well, probably to try to lump all the unicyclist haters under one reason
for thier behaviour is being too generalist (is there such a word?). I
suspect that ever unicyclist hater has their own idosyncratic
reason/history/development via which, through various processes such as
classical and operant conditioning and various other processes known as
social learning theory (eg modelling) they developed into unicyclist
haters.
(Can you tell I've just started my clinical psychology course then?)
