Funny enough, I was just thinking.

Its been known for a long time, that just repeating things over and over and giving the illusion of being the "main consensus" is pretty effective by itself.

Yes, repeatedly stating something can create the illusion of authority or truth, a phenomenon known as the "illusory truth effect" or "repetition bias". This effect is rooted in cognitive processing: when we hear something repeatedly, it becomes easier to process and recall, leading us to perceive it as more credible and therefore, more likely to be true.

Weird.
