>People accepting everything at face value is not going to stay a thing when world+dog is going to abuse their new powers. Only fools would believe what they see after they've been fooled a few times and suffered the consequences

This seems overly optimistic, and requires people to themselves suffer unambiguously from the doctored evidence.

On an individual level, regular discovery of police and prosecutorial has not led widespread reform in those areas. And on a larger scale, even after things like the Gulf of Tonkin people largely accepted claims of WMD's in Iraq.



I think people got my point, but I somehow forgot the word "misconduct" after "prosecutorial."
