hehe, well I will agree with you there, if someone is unintelligent and thinks what they are saying is a true statement, when in reality their statement is 100% false, technically they are not lying they are spreading misinformation.
here is a vid with a magnet

That is a good video. Assuming the guy is legit then that is exactly what I'd want to see from a test.
Also... a lot of things are called "misinformation" today that is a very loaded word and I personally consider it dangerous to use. That way leads to the path of censorship, banning, etc.
If you see something WRONG. The you can do what you are doing. Counter it with additional information that refutes it or corrects it.
Every dictator/despot that advocated silencing their opposition claimed their opposition was speaking "misinformation". It is a popular propaganda tactic.
Let's get back to the days when we simply say that was "incorrect", or "wrong" and provide reasons why.
As soon as we start calling things misinformation that usually is couched in a way that implies the person was doing so with intention. Another way of saying "spreading lies".
I doubt that is what you are trying to do here. Yet there are a lot of people advocating for censoring, banning based upon "misinformation" and some platforms are doing it.
Lately a lot of things people were banned for are turning out to NOT be misinformation now that the "official authority" figures are saying the same things.
Which means it wasn't "misinformation" in the first place. It just didn't fit the narrative the authorities wanted pushed at the time.
I'll edit the post and add that video you provided.
Yes. Sometimes people are using the term 'misinformation' when they really mean nonsense, bunk, claptrap, etc.
By the way this is kind of an asshole arrogant statement.
I can guarantee you I know many things you are ignorant about. You know many things I am ignorant about.
It has ZERO to do with intelligence.
You just can't know everything. You learn things based upon what you are exposed to, your interests, and your experience.
Being ignorant does not mean unintelligent.
Being wrong does not make someone unintelligent.
You learn basically in two ways. 1) You are ignorant and thus you encounter new knowledge and learn, or 2) You are wrong and you learn from your mistakes.
If you don't learn from your mistakes... that I'd agree is unintelligent.
well, as the saying goes... "facts don't care about your feelings" so if you prefer I use the word ignorant instead of unintelligent, sure why not...
Once again I agree with you, every single human on this planet is ignorant on a variety of different topics and 99% of these humans either do not speak on topics they have no knowledge of or they sometimes decide to study the topic to gain more knowledge. Unfortunately a small minority decide to create videos about topics they are ignorant about, which they believe to be true, which may cause other ignorant people to start believing this misinformation.
Since you do not like the word lies (because we agree the human may actually think what they are saying is true) nor misinformation, what word would you prefer I use to describe misinformation an ignorant human spreads online?
Sorry about the double post things... Website lag seems to be causing some weird things occasionally.
