- UncleOxidant 2y agoExactly. I was in a discussion thread where someone mentioned a book that was accusing some group of becoming apostate (in terms of the context of this particular community). Now most people in that community don't think the author of said book is an unbiased source of information - in fact the bias seems quite blatant. But people in the thread were saying "Have you read the book?!" and most people said "No, I've got better things to do" to which the reply was "Well, then you don't want the truth!"... and on and on. Who's got time to check out every crackpot source and determine it's veracity?
- Modified3019 2y agoYah this is basically a weaponized version of “Brandolini's law” and other related concepts like “Gish gallop”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini's_law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini's_law I personally remember it as “an ounce of bullshit takes a pound of truth to clean up”.
