Key finding:
"the critical mass required to induce norm change is dramatically reduced when non-committed members of the population are less susceptible to social influence than previously assumed"

This seems closely related to the ongoing "truth decay" efforts which - not specific policy positions - are the primary focus of professional disinformation groups.
