It has also become obvious to us that the average internet user, has no idea how to vet anything on the web.
As someone who's basically grown up with the Internet, from the early pre-web days, this turns out to have been a real surprise. I realized early on that my exposure to the early Internet played a huge role in my developing a nose for falsehoods, bullshit, fallacies, etc. I had thus naively assumed that as it became more common for young people to have this kind of exposure, that this "sense" would become more common. Sadly, this appears to have not been the case even a little bit, at-scale anyways.
