    I also wonder whether it gives people the illusion of control - e.g. they have all these figures so they must be in control.

    But if you take step back and ask the question 'How do your actions influence those figures?' then you quickly see that you do just have the illusion of control.

    Do people deliberately ignore this fact or do they genuinely not understand do you think?

    They probably just don't think things through - they've heard that X is the thing to do, they do what they believe X to be, so they're done. Humans are naturally lazy thinkers, even when they fool themselves into thinking they're not
