Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect
The Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is a psychological phenomenon coined by Michael Crichton after discussing it with Murray Gell-Mann. Originally described in Crichton's "Why Speculate?" speech, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect labels a commonly observed problem in modern media, where one will believe everything they read from a journalist even after they come across an article about something they know well that is completely incorrect.
