Spurious information purported to be true by respected orthodox experts or official government sources. Spuriofacts are widely believed scientific fallacies, myths and braced myths or else simply unsubstantiated scientific claims.
Braced myths begin as fallacies produced by errors, bias, lies, academic fraud, hoaxes and other forms of pseudo scholarship that are created, packaged to look like facts, and disseminated by orthodox experts. These fallacies become myths as more people accept them. They become braced myths when orthodox respected sceptics credulously believe them, and while still believing they are true promote them as examples of the need to be sceptical of fallacies and myths.
