    You miss the point.

    In The Fox and the Grapes by Aesop, a fox saw some high-hanging grapes and wished to eat them. When the fox was unable to think of a way to reach them, he decided that the grapes were probably not worth eating, with the justification that the grapes are likely not ripe or that they are sour (hence "sour grapes").

    This example follows a pattern: one desires something, finds it unattainable, and reduces one's dissonance by criticizing it.
