Emotions are a very powerful thing and when it becomes to believing something emotions are front and center.
b.     Connection – Based on the picture it shows two people holding hands staring at the sunset, now if one of those people died the other would be heartbroken but might still be convinced that the other person is still with them because they can feel there presence. This is not uncommon for when someone dies for you to believe they are watching over you because in essence that is what belief is.

b.     Connection – A psychic is an example of simplicity because if you happen to guess something right people call you a psychic while in reality it was just a guess that could have happened to anyone.

This tactic is used often by conspiracy theories.
