The Illusory Truth Effect

There's a study in 2012 where they found that if you put the statement, windmills were invented in Persia, people are more likely to believe it than if it's just on a black background. It doesn't even have to be a photo of like Persian looking windmills. It can just be random-ass windmills in like Germany. People see the image somehow as proving the text. And I think that we also notice what is recognized as the truth in the media and the society around us and we internalize that and accept it.
