    Then it’s true that happens to also be unconfirmed knowledge. Until it is confirmed, it is never actually knowledge, which makes the whole premise stupid.

    It is absolutely in no way what so ever unique to have something that is presented as knowledge that happens to be false in reality.

    Otherwise EVERY food advertisement would count in the same boat: “true”, but not accurately true.

    and we all know that shit is false as fuck.

      Of course it’s not unusual to have something presented as knowledge that is false. That’s just lying.

      The distinction here is that the conclusion is true, but it is based off of inaccurate information. The conclusion that advertisements are trying to steer you towards is false.

        But the cited example is not the same as advertisement. At all. Period. What so ever.

        Advertisement is based on false presentation in addition to an outright lie in the reality of the situation at hand.

        What is literally pictured in modern advertisement is often not even edible product. It’s literally, within the picture, glue or other non-edible lies.

        So by bringing advertisement into this, you’re actually bringing in something even less honest than what I’m talking about…
