Reasons for inaccurate evaluation of information
- Cognitive biases
- Accuracy of information is not a priority when gaining knowledge
- The source of information is unknown or unreliable
- Sources are often listed after the information has already been presented and embedded into one's knowledge base
- Evidence for a piece of information is not relevant but gives the illusion of support
- Alternative viewpoints are not considered
- Monitoring the accuracy of information takes great effort
- Working against one's own biases is difficult
