It's good for people to post this information, and then for others to explain its significance or lackthereof.
Self-censorship and other forms of information suppression just inhibit this process of people becoming exposed to different information and thereby better informed.
- mullingitover 6y agoI agree, when the information is presented in a clear fashion with all the background facts already understood by the reader. However, when the average person is so easily misled by spurious correlations, you must present these coincidences with a great deal of background to explain why one event followed by another doesn't mean that that event was caused by the previous event. That context is rarely given, leading multitudes of laypeople to wildly misinformed confirmation bias.
