Thanks for this post! I expect this will indeed clarify some important points for people, and Iāve already recommended this post to a couple people interested in these sorts of topics.
Iād suggest editing the post to put the misconceptions in the headings in quote marks, or something like that. Otherwise on some level peopleās minds might initially process the headings as claims youāre makingāespecially if theyāre skimming or just glancing at the post.
(This suggestion is informed by my previous reading on topics like how misinformation can accidentally emerge, spread, and be sticky. A particularly relevant paper is The effects of subtle misinformation in news headlines. I havenāt checked for replications of this stuff, but the basic takeaway here seems to make intuitive sense to me as well.)
Thanks for all your comments Michael, and thanks for recommending this post to others!
I have read through your comments and there is certainly a lot of interesting stuff to think about there. I hope to respond but I might not be able to do that in the very near future.
