This is an opinion piece on persuasion and belief polarisation, not a security report, and it names no CVEs, products or incidents. Its relevance to security is indirect: it describes social engineering dynamics in which a confident, credible-seeming speaker can get unverified claims accepted. Readers working on awareness or social engineering defence may find it useful background.
