And forgetting the BP is one thing. Mentally discounting it is another. In other words, tricking ourselves into rationalizing that we’re paying less than we really are, because we allow ourselves to be cajoled into the self delusion that we’re bidding less than we really are.

I tend to agree. I think there’s a reason the full price including bp isn’t what usually appears when a bidder clicks. Similar effect to a casino making you turn real money into chips. Makes the true economic impact of certain decisions a little more disguised/feel less real.
