Check out the link - the explanation as written is drastically simplified in order to use it briefly as one entry framework of understanding for discussing the hoax characteristics (mostly to introduce a concept that differentiates a hoax strategy from a simple attempt to lie, in that a given hoax tactic isn’t trying to get you to believe something necessarily, but to provoke a reaction to set up a different purpose.)
While you are correct, your explanation requires several more layers of nuance and disclaimers, and can easily be completely misinterpreted.
Appreciate the response — whut, you didn’t think the article was long enough already?!
You are absolutely right - everyone should check out the link. It is a fantastic post that clearly lays out some very complex concepts. Shades of Jomini, which previously I would have thought were beyond their capabilities.
