Just move the propaganda two hops away.

would already greatly diminish the effect. Two hops away is a magnitude or two less of exposure.

When Spain changed organ donations from opt-in to opt-out the rate increased from 30% to 9x%. That's one tick of a box.

I see these comments a lot and I don't know if people purposefully try to downplay the role of smart design because they pursue an agenda or if people seriously don't recognise how significant small changes in design can be.

If we'd manage to hide false information behind two clicks we'd have done the world a great service.

Likewise, I always see these statements and they come across very disingenuous.
