Today in #detectingdeception is poisoning the well. This is when you try to get a piece of forthcoming information to be disregarded by discrediting the source in advance.
Example: The people who might say something about me are just doing it for political reasons or so they can profit.

Today in #DetectingDeception: Watch out for hasty generalization.
"Many people," or "Everyone," or "Liberals," or "Conservatives" as the start of a sentence is likely overstating what a group thinks based on a noisy few.
5 Tweets/Skeets/... (even emotional ones) does not equal a movement.

In bad information, you don't have to prove something wrong to weaken someone's resolve. You just have to create plausible doubt.

Hey, news friends!
If a kid is afraid of monsters under the bed, that does not guarantee monsters.
If a newsmaker says people in a city are afraid, that does not guarantee that there's a problem.
People feeling fear is not the same as there being a real issue.

Today in #DetectingDeception is false comparison. This is your classic apples and oranges, where you are saying something has value or is superior in comparison with something else, but there's no logical reason to compare the two. Here's an example and then why it's misleading.

Today in #DetectingDeception, a 2-fer here. Research might be reliable (it's is a word that has shifted meaning). Thirty years of experience matters, but risks a hasty generalization: one person's experience is not the world.
"Common sense" basically means "because I can't imagine otherwise."

Let's talk about appeals to purity. This is a way of avoiding debate because someone isn't proper: they believe or do something or does something that the true (e.g., citizen, patriot, Christian, Jew, Muslim, East High School Wildcat, etc.) wouldn't. #DetectingDeception

How to Spot a Lie in 10 Seconds: The SECRET Language of Deception
Ever wished you had a built-in lie detector? Forget the unreliable polygraphs and poker-face myths—real deception hides in the words we use, not the sweat on our palms. In this thrilling episode, we break down the psychology of lying and reveal the subtle linguistic patterns liars can’t escape.
From shady politicians to everyday white lies, you’ll discover how people unconsciously give themselves away with:
Fewer self-references (“I” magically disappears when the truth does).
More negative language (liars can’t help but sound bitter).
Overly simple explanations (the truth is messy, lies are too neat).
Convoluted padding (because fake stories need extra scaffolding).
Packed with real-world examples, surprising psychology, and practical insights, this episode arms you with deception detection skills you can actually use in daily life. Whether you’re navigating relationships, the workplace, or just curious about human behavior, you’ll never listen to someone’s words the same way again.
👉 Listen now to sharpen your BS radar, share this with a friend who “always knows when someone’s lying,” and start decoding the hidden truth in everyday conversations.

Today in #DetectingDeception is an appeal to fear. This is where you try to get your way by warning others of the consequences if you don't. While bad outcomes are ... bad, that doesn't make caution the best criteria for deciding what's right to do.

Today in #DetectingDeception is poisoning the well. This is where you plant seeds of doubt in something before that thing can hurt you. For example, if you think a legal case might go against you, you might attack the prosecutor or judge as biased before the trial starts.
