This is a fictionalized vision of how ideas spread.

The key piece you're missing is there's an asymmetry in generation of truths vs lies. They're not on equal footing. Arguing for that disproportionately benefits lies and ensures a falsehood-rich environment.

Likewise, mutants and the "telephone game" is not of concern to liars at all; it's just another example of the asymmetry of holding on to principles. It's not relevant to the real problems.
