Confirmation bias? Or a quirk of Twitter? You decide...
Yesterday, at 11.11pm, Dr Phil Hammond sent out this tweet in all good faith. He had *accurately* quoted from a misworded GMC release.

First wrong message has 49 RTs. The clarification from Dr Hammond has >200 RTs. Seems likely to me that those who re-tweeted the wrong message also re-tweeted the clarification?

I went through each person's timeline to ensure they hadn't RTd either clarification or offered clarification of their own. Some did, many didn't.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/959927313583476736 …

I agree John. I had a quick look but resisted the temptation to go through them all ;)

Haha! Yes... I gave up once I was comfortably into double figures too. I originally intended to tweet the 'culprits' directly and ask them to correct the mistake, but there were too many of them
