So there were.... 3 mainstream media articles, out the many TENS OF THOUSANDS of articles published on the 2016 campaign, that embedded Russian troll tweets? I'm afraid that's not really helping your argument.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1075845985182441472 …

You haven't proposed any alternative measures. And your anecdotal evidence isn't very persuasive, either (despite being cherry-picked). I've argued with you often enough to know you can be very persuasive when the evidence supports you—it doesn't here, and we both know it.

just gave a presentation on this at UCSD. Problem is we don't have any idea what we are trying to do, so we don't know how to measure it. I used Germany's NetzDG law on how the current stats don't relate to any public policy goals.

I'm open to these claims, but they ultimately need to generate testable hypotheses or we're not doing science. We have testable hypotheses about viruses and the immune system!

Right now claims about low-volume social media operations having big systemic effects lack credible supporting evidence or even specific claims that could be tested.

The weekness of the immune system seems to be the more important question in the first place.

Immunologist here. Actually the number of bacteria or virus in a person - which would track mass almost 1 to 1- generally says a LOT about how sick that person is for many diseases (though not all). Perfectly reasonable and quick heuristic.

But you wouldn't dismiss it because it is a small percentage of the body mass is my metaphor here. More is worse can be true while simultaneously tiny is harmless is not true.

Let me know if you want to argue against a stronger strawperson and I'll get back to it.
