The Facts.


60% of facts thrown in the world are not true. I don't know if that's true either, I just made it up. But, hypothetically, a person stumbles across this and they use it for their report, how could anyone prove them wrong? You can't gather this data or check its validity.

Then, afterwards— hypothetically— a member of the class or a person from that room hears this and takes this opportunity to show his or her true intellectual abilities by repeating the false figure in a heated argument. The opposition gawks because you can't counter a fact. There is no way to prove them wrong. The opposition leaves, disgruntled and recites the statement in their head "60% of facts thrown in the world are not true". It plays over and over like a distorted record and they make sure to use this fact in their next argument.

This fact revolves around until it shifts and morphs into different things.

A simple rephrase.

60% of the facts given are false.

Misheard and repeated.

50% of the fax given are false.

Until it makes no coherent sense.

50% of the fax given falls.

Numbers are scary.

People believe anything (which is equally as scary)
