Description
No surprise that bloggers copied and pasted stuff without checking it. And no surprise at how this differs from reality. But what was surprising was the acceptance from a poster on this channel that spreading this kind of misinformation is OK.
For those who also think that getting things wrong is 'normal', and fact-checking and publishing accurate information is an impossible dream, I always invite people to fact-check my videos and point out errors. Please go ahead. Sources are below, and in every video description. Any errors you do find will be instantly corrected. That is normal -- in the world of science and good journalism.
