You cannot police misinformation in a fair, reproducible, and representative way
misinformation is hard to characterize.<p>This week I was reading about how cholesterol studies are funded by the egg industry 60% of the time. They have a financial interest in the studies going their way and those studies do. Yet, many studies not funded by them go a very different route.<p>Is it misinformation when you speak out against them?<p>The same can be said for a lot of things. You need to dig into the details to have an understanding of what&#x27;s going on.<p>The other day I was listening to an edge theory on something. I didn&#x27;t know I would be hearing one when I first took the time to listen. The theory was based on evidence, the case was logical and well reasoned, and what was different was assumptions. The conclusion was not the majority. Is that misinformation?<p>We don&#x27;t tend to go deep anymore so how can we tell where misinformation really exists? Who decides what&#x27;s a kind of hard that needs to be stopped?<p>There is so much depth to this topic.
