It's funny you can see this at rock shows too with the band members saying "How's everyone doing tonight?" and then holding the mic out to the crowd to cheer. They can even do it 2 more times if they act like the 1st and 2nd weren't good enough.

Just as we care more that our team wins than that they were actually the strongest team, we probably care more that our idea sides look good than that our ideas are true.

Robin, this is the bit I was responding to. Seems to me that this refers to supporters rather than disinterested cheerleaders.
