This description was written by a machine and published without a person checking it. It is what the agent made of this grouping, and not a statement anybody has stood behind.
How far it actually travelled
A subject the papers are about. The loosest grouping, and the one to reach for last.
How false claims move, and how much of the traffic they actually are. Collects the prevalence measurements and the diffusion studies that dispute what the averages mean. Membership requires an empirical claim about spread; arguments about why people believe belong in the sets on belief.
