Since most find it challenging to really feel what “Five to Eight times More Misleading” actually means, I find it helpful to use percentages instead:
“Right-leaning images were 500 - 800% more likely than Left-leaning images to be Misleading.”

Reply to Cosmic rays reveal measurements of a concealed corridor in the Great Pyramid of Giza by marketrent
Findings in title quoted from linked^1 and hyperlinked^2 content:
From the linked summary^1 by Jennifer Ouellette:
>In 2016, scientists using muon imaging picked up signals indicating a hidden corridor behind the famous chevron blocks on the north face of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
>The following year, the same team detected a mysterious void in another area of the pyramid, believing it could be a hidden chamber.
>Two independent teams of researchers, using two different muon imaging methods, have now successfully mapped out the corridor for the first time, according to a new paper published in the journal Nature Communications.
>As we’ve reported previously, there is a long history of using muons to image archaeological structures, a process made easier because cosmic rays provide a steady supply of these particles.
>
>For this latest work, one team used muon radiography to map the shape and location of the secret corridor, placing detectors at various points around the pyramid.
>Specifically, they used nuclear emulsion films (supplied by colleagues at Nagoya University in Japan), which can detect particles without an electric power supply.
>A second team deployed three gaseous detectors, or muon telescopes, outside the pyramid, supplied by the Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy (CEA) at Durham University in the UK.
>The results of the two independent analyses confirmed the presence of a corridor-like void.
>The corridor is about 9 meters long (29.5 feet), with a transverse section of 2×2 meters (6.5×6.5 feet), and most likely slopes upward, although where it leads remains a mystery.
From the research article:^2
>In this paper, we report on the first precise analysis of the void found with cosmic-ray muon radiography behind the North Face Chevron and named the ScanPyramids North Face Corridor (NFC).

What were the examples of "misinformation"? And who determined what was "misinformation" and what was legit?

I call complete BS. These metrics are completely biased based on what was considered misinformation at the time like the Biden laptop being Russian disinformation which was misinformation then but is accurate information now. Take this report with a huge grain of salt.

honestly this is an extremely important point... there's just a vast gamut of metal out there, and there's a big difference between hardcore thrash metal and post-apocalyptic ambient metal etc etc

Nah. It’s just confirming the obvious.
