Seems related to the studies where people are told a fact, but it’s in red, which they’re told means it’s not true. After seeing lots of different facts in colours blue or red (blue means true) they’re asked about certain facts, and they’re more likely to remember a false fact as true than a true fact as false—we’re more likely to believe things, and don’t tend to take on contrary evidence as easily.
