I viewed it as a "hill you would die on" type of question. Where everyone you talk to thinks you are an idiot or believes you to be wrong, but you refuse to change your mind.
Good examples usually are found in people who get stuck in conspiracies, but it doesn't always have to be. "Birds aren't real" "Earth Flat" are conspiracies.
Or it could be something off the wall like "Anyone not willing to commit suicide is a coward and inherently evil for putting themselves betore all other lifeforms on this planet"
(Not saying I do/don't agree with any of these comments/things, just giving my opinion on what the question meant)
