Thinking that one can compare a checksum with a factchecker is exactly the kind of misunderstanding that I’m referring to. A checksum can be computed and compared. It is simple. A political statement will be higher up the ladder of abstraction and cannot be parsed as precisely or understood out of context. It is complex. It can only be judged by millions of complex brains coming up with their own nuanced opinions. Wishing for a world where all important statements can be judged as “true” or “mostly true” or some such nonsense is magical thinking.
