    I would like to provide some candid feedback to the speaker. I really enjoyed his presentation, but I felt he undermined the entire presentation with the example that he shared at the end. He said a relative of his posted something stupid on social media and that he was able to verify that it was false by spending five seconds on Google. I thought the whole point of the presentation was that you can’t trust everything that you hear and that you have to put in some effort and some analytical thinking to verify what you hear. He certainly didn’t follow his own advice when he concluded his relative’s post was false by spending five seconds on Google. In fact, what one finds after spending five seconds on Google seems quintessentially unverified.
