I'd be curious to know whether there was any context given with Nathalie's exoneration. For example, "it was invented by her jealous peer" rather than just "it wasn't true." Might the revelation of deception induce extra skepticism, inhibiting someone from believing the truth? Could a model explaining fake news could help people to better integrate the truth?
