A good example of analysis paralysis in general, but what’s particularly interesting is how many people readily believe random stuff they read on the Internet, from random people, just because it’s on the Internet.

(In a larger sense, I think this is tied to the tendency for most people to believe more of what they read than what they hear, regardless of the source, but it’s still interesting the amount of undue influence that random posts by complete strangers can actually have on somebody’s viewpoint)
