Here is one.

Let us grant a couple premises. First the belief that a cookie consent banner that provides a large button to accept and a multiple-click, read the policy first on another page opt-out process, complies with a law that says opt out has to be just as easy to opt in. Second, that your developers are more likely to use such a banner if they believe it's legal than if they knew they were doing something illegal. Third, that you are going to use the tracking information gathered via dark patterns implying consent by default not to sell to data brokers, but to actually better target marketing of your own publication. Fourth, that reading your epistemology journal will actually make the readers you target better at epistemology.

I think I might have discovered an epistemically useful false belief?
