But the reverse also happens because you play just before that segment in your previous segment, you played another clip of me on Martin.
And even though I'm a specialist in this area, I found myself saying, now, is that one real?
You know, and that question is good.
You know, we want to be asking yourself that question, but we got to be careful with that as well, because we could end up not believing factual information sometimes in times that it matters.
Yeah, it's part of what we do, and part of what we're trying to encourage more and more is, rather than not talk about this, or rather than theoretically talk about it, is literally bring in content and say, is this real?
Is this not real?
Now, sometimes it's going to be specific things you can spot.
So, Neil Martin's accent was a definite tell for anybody who knows him for that last segment.
But sometimes it's a bit more subtle than that.
It's a little bit like if you're buying an antique.
You know, is this something real and authentic that's been around a while or did somebody just make it yesterday?
So it's almost developing that skill set to be able to determine it.
And part of the thing that I think that we're really missing is if you had your snake oil salesperson, you know, 100 years ago come into the town square.
You may or may not believe them, but at least some of your neighbour will come up and say, hold on a minute, I'm not sure about that.
So we're finding that a lot of the consumption of information is happening alone or it's happening in more isolated ways.
So this community support mechanism isn't quite there in the way it maybe has been in the past.
It absolutely is.
And that's why it has to be partially the systems themselves.
We don't want to just put this on the users, but nor do we want to, as consumers of information, just trust them either.
So there's quite a bit happening in Europe.
