Based on new data, I've changed my mind about the belief that "People don't change their minds based on new data."🙂🙃

My previous belief was based on the great research on the "backfire effect," done by Brendan Nyhan in 2010. But in 2020, Brendan did new research, showing that he was wrong about people not changing their minds.🙃🙂

He showed that presenting the right data the right way, does cause people to change their minds. This was the right data and way for me.
