You just raised another example of a bad idea that needed lies to gain public acceptance.

I’m not making a claim about whether any particular idea is good or bad.

I’m pointing out that the process by which ideas gain acceptance is somewhat independent from their actual quality, so acceptance alone isn’t a strong signal.
