Disinformation of the pathogenic variety can degrade and ultimately destroy societal cohesion, and is resilient only because of its clever self-concealment, a confidence game played upon the patsy, in this case, the observer. When system data are interpreted by their observer according to a fallacy of confirmation bias, the observer occults scrutiny within their subconscious rather than performing the onerous conscious task of validation. This can be done for the sake of efficiency by a master, or it can be done in error by one who assumes themselves to be a master but who is not: thus fallacy.

Confirmation bias creates obvious potential for data corruption, and is one of the reasons this logical fallacy has been tagged and tracked for thousands of years. But an interesting thought experiment emerges if the hypothetical data being interpreted pertains to a proof of whether the observer has achieved mastery. At this point and quite subjectively, if the observer chooses not to verify the data consciously, they are placing a subconscious wager that they are a master and as such, their mastery is not threatened by the potential of having been staked in error in this case. The conscious decision to accept the risks of subconscious error is a wager to live with their imminent outcome or output, unconscious as they are to the cause one way or the other. This double-blindness marks their mastery as being both transcendent and empirical…or empirically flawed, and a tree is known by its fruit.
