Spreading false information to prove that you can spread false information is morally corrupt.
- thwarted 18y agoYes, something less emotionally and politically charged could have been chosen. However, this doesn't necessarily invalidate the results, and I'd be interested in hearing of an experiment that would provide better proof that false information can be spread that would be equally or more conclusive and doesn't read like an arm-chair sociologist's blog post. At least there is an experiment and a methodology here.
