My friend,

You seem to be a bit puzzled by the term brainwashing, If you only knew
how often this operation is performed in everyday life and on a routine
basis, you would not be so taken. You clearly are unaware of being
brainwashed. What a pity! I think you should next take issue over the
term conditioning.
