This article is a very good demonstration of the problem with fact checking, thanks for sharing.
> Many of these issues were already discussed on HN. Anyone could dig up dozens of such cases with a bit of searching...
I imagine I could find more if I wanted to as well, but it probably kicks off a more interesting discussion if we focus on real examples instead of imagined hypotheticals. I was just trying to drive the discussion in that direction.
