Sarah, your question reminds me of "discrepant events", a method of teaching science...the instructor "explains" an experiment, and what should happen, then the kids do it, and something else happens. Kids then usually see this as a discrepant event, and learn the real "why" when exploring why the experiment yielded something else.
The battle in our minds over Rational thought (what ought to happen), and empirical evidence (what did happen) is fundamental to the scientific method.
