People share misinformation partly because attention is on engagement, not accuracy; a simple accuracy prompt improved sharing quality. With “Lazy, not biased” (Cognition, 2019) on analytic thinking.

The book’s stance. Bears on demand-side-filter-on-integration and floor-is-aggregation-property. Supports the preference/sharing disconnect; pressure-tests the justification-market reading, since the driver may be inattention rather than motivation. Quote-backed supports/pressureTests edges pending extraction of the source PDF.
