People don't like to be wrong. This goes for you, me...everyone. But some simply cannot accept reality.
I firmly believe fanboyism (true fanboyism, now...not way it's thrown around here) stems from a person's inability to accept being wrong. Even the concept scares the bejesus out of them. They have to choose
something to be right, however...so when they do -- they cling to it like a life-preserver in the middle of the atlantic.
Not to be mean, or come off elitist...but most fanboys (true fanboys) are awfully simply people, intellectually.
There are two other groups that exhibit similar characteristics to a fanboy, however. And are often mistaken for one when someone attempts to label these people:
The Passionate Enthusiast, and the Ignoramous. I trust I don't need to explain the two.
