Answer:

- False information given to large groups of people does not directly affect science, but it does feed into a larger pool of misinformation.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Bad information given to a group of normal people is a lot different than being given to a group of scientists.

- Information is most reliable when based on facts and evidence, but does not need to soley rely on those factors to be true.

- At the end of the day it's an equation

bad information + normal people = uneducated people

bad information + scientists = a large chain affect until it is corrected

So the countering factor is the audience.
