Does "Blind pride" in the following context mean "too much arrogance that people prefer not to believe the truth even if it is before their eyes"?
Context:
Unbelievable. Even when they're presented with the naked truth, they would rather believe the lie. Or at least that it was too complicated to be figured out by a pair of boys after it confounded everyone for sixty years. Blind pride can be a useful thing.
