Weaker analytic and reflective thinking reliably predicts greater susceptibility to misinformation.
Claim:
Lower intelligence and weaker analytic thinking skills are strongly and consistently associated with greater receptivity to misinformation and unsubstantiated claims, according to scientific research.
HARDLY BS
Meta-analyses find blended learning modestly improves achievement over traditional instruction.
Claim:
Contemporary academic research shows that blended learning significantly improves student academic performance compared to purely traditional instructional approaches.
HARDLY BS
Fewer than 10% of male magpies swoop humans, mainly August–October.
Claim:
Australian magpies frequently engage in swooping attacks on humans during their nesting season, which occurs between September and November.
SOME BS
High-level nuclear waste stays hazardous for millennia and needs long-term isolation.
Claim:
Nuclear waste remains radioactive for thousands of years and requires continuous isolation and monitoring to prevent harm to people and the environment, according to Natural Resources Canada (2024).
HARDLY BS
Peer-reviewed research documents a blind Serengeti lioness surviving via pride support.
Claim:
A 17-year-old wild lioness survived for 5 years after losing her sight, despite blindness typically being fatal for wild predators.
SOME BS

SOME BS
The “alpha wolf” dominance idea originated from Rudolf Schenkel’s 1947 captive-pack study.
Claim:
The concept of 'alpha male' dominance in wolves was originally derived from studies of captive wolf packs rather than wild wolf populations.
NOT BS
