Extremely annoying to read something, halfway in discovering it’s fake, then having to go back to re-update backwards on everything I “learned” from it
Re-update backwards
E: I keep thinking of Re-update backwards, how it is silly to have a special term for this (which prob means it has occurred often enough for them to think of one), and that it is silly to have to do this a lot because keeps happening and then not changing your behavior, how weird is your internet media consumption if you just assume everything you read on a blog is true. I would hope the first time people fall for that (I fell for adequacy [dot] org (I checked the actual link and got a red paged ‘this site is dangerous’ warning so not sure if the archive is still up, not used to those red paged warnings so didn’t follow up on it) at the time, in my defense, I’m a fool) they start to be a bit less trustworthy of random stuff they read. But nope, re-update your priors backwards.

And reply from what I assume is a lesswronger:
