Evidence by Citation

“A reliable way to make people believe in falsehoods is frequent repetition, because familiarity is not easily distinguished from truth.” – Daniel Kahneman
As I was watching with interest more [fake] news such as stories surrounding evidence by citations of Russian involvement in US elections and fake prices leading to some violent market gyrations as in Bitcoin and the Corona Virus Pandemic, and societal musings around the thematic of hoaxes … we decided to offer this theme.
Enter the WOOZLE
And so, the Woozle effect, also known as evidence by citation, or a woozle, occurs when frequent citation of previous publications that lack evidence misleads individuals, groups and the public into thinking or believing there is evidence, and non-facts become urban myths and factoids.
