Why is it that the vast majority of the time I see "We know[, for example,]" at the start of a sentence, the text following is one or more of:

1. A blatant lie

2. A willful misinterpretation of new research

3. A gross misunderstanding of research outside one's area of expertise

4. A misapplication of one thing for another, e.g. conflating webcam algorithms and all their issues with criminal justice algorithms
