> Brandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage that emphasizes the difficulty of debunking false, facetious, or otherwise misleading information: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it."

But I guess, to be fair, giving the other sides a fair chance to make it's point doesn't mean you need to provably debunk it if it's wrong.

“The reason I won’t refute your argument is that it is so incorrect that it would take me forever to explain why.”

Brandolini's law is more like the adage, "a lie can travel halfway around the world, while the truth is lacing up its boots." It's very easy to spout correct-sounding lies in such a volume that countering them becomes an academic challenge.
