I would theorize that in the brain there are parameters that determine how likely and to what effect that they will remember and spread the idea. Then in general populations these parameters fit general trends. So any idea could fit these parameters but false ideas are more malleable to fit the parameters and thus increasing their spread.

1) Or if you create something that fits the parameters (esp. a lot of parameters) it’s probably false. (Too widely popular.)
2) While something true may fit well, something false that takes the parts that fit well and turns them up to 11 fits better. (Too strongly popular.)
