Bingo. A study I can't find after trying on Google took people with objectively wrong opinions and payed them for accuracy. Magically, people corrected their own opinions when they had a financial incentive to do so.
- TallGuyShort 6y agoI'd be curious about the inverse though: does the rate at which a random sample of the population is willing to tell you something incorrect if you paid them change significantly?

Magically, people corrected their own opinions when they had a financial incentive to do so. Interesting. I'd like to read that study, if you ever figure out which one it was. Meanwhile, I wonder if this was a case of people figuring out what the testers wanted to hear, rather than actually altering the beliefs they held.
