Title: Bullsh*t paper
Post by: Danmick on November 07, 2017, 06:21:12 AM
Some researchers at the University of Waterloo published a paper a while back about the prevalence of bullshit in our society, and people's ability to recognize it.  It uses the term "bullshit" 200 times :)

The above webpage offers a good summary of the paper, but if you can't stand its annoying design, I've attached the actual paper.
