That impulse is similar to the impulse I see in conservatives when they claim Trump has to have a plan. "he's eluded prison time his whole life!" "He managed to become president!" Etc. Like. They insist there's a method to the madness. That method is that he shouts down anyone who tells him he's wrong and sells everyone else bravado. That's it.
It turns out that the most unrealistic part of "The Emperor has no clothes" was the crowd realizing after the child points it out that they've all been fooled.
The crowd will chastise the child and throw the child out of society for asking such a stupid question, or for making the emperor look foolish.
