I Can Handle The Truth

Sadly there seems to be a belief amongst some that if enough people believe something then that becomes a fact.

Indeed, with the corollary that some people realise your last point and exploit to their own advantage.

I don't think it's helped either by a noticeable, general lowering of ability to [i]understand[/i] even quite simple words in straightforward speech. Although the meaning is reasonably obvious in an innocent conversation, I question if such people can realise when they are being manipulated by clever word-play, including simple omission. Or if the speaker understands the subject!
