Re: being honest with yourself (x-post)
Excellent post. You might have made one additional point.
Calling a probable steal raise, then re-raising all in SCREAMS AA or KK. That is, even if the SB had not already demonstrated extreme tightness, the betting pattern very clearly indicated that he had a huge pair, making your friend a huge dog.
Your points about objectivity were well stated. He was clearly deluding himself to justify a mistake
