The trouble is, you have no sense of what proportion of stories turned out to be true, since they only list the debunked ones.

- oblio 6y agoConsidering how boring and involved the decision process in Brussels is, probably a tiny fraction. Definitely not worth making the fuss they're making about it in the press. European decision making is consensus based so almost everyone needs to agree. EU decision making is based on proposal from member states governments, so it's usually pre-vetted by the member states governments. On top of that, it usually needs some sort of industry-wide agreement in many cases. What I'm saying is, it's super unlikely for absurd stuff to make it through. The whole process is super slow (which is annoying), but crazy stuff rarely ends up at the other end. If it seems crazy to you personally, it's probably because you don't have intimate knowledge of the domains affected.
