> It is very easy to solve disinformation I don't know about that, but it is very easy to make statements like this which make your credibility go "poof."

  You havn't managed to provide an argument our counterexample, so it is obviously at least something of a challenge to find unsolvable disinformation. Most of the easy examples are intensely political and it is obvious that motivated reasoning or clashing values is the root cause and no issues to do with facts. > make your credibility go "poof." I suspect you are using credibility to assess claims rather than arguments. If that is so, you're never going to escape disinformation because credible people routinely discover they can sell their credibility and do so. And credibility has never been a measure of truth, lots of credible people are also key spreaders of disinformation (like the BBC, for example). That would make the problem intractable. It is pretty normal for people to optimise for credibility, which means the disinformation is generally pushed specifically by people who are legitimately credible.
