Distortion field guide
Exaggeration
A real finding gets inflated: stronger, bigger, faster, or more certain than the evidence supports.
How it enters the chain
Usually between a measured result and its retelling. A modest effect in a study becomes a dramatic one in a caption, and each reshare rounds it up again.
How to spot it
Compare the superlatives in the claim against the numbers in the source. If the source says may help slightly and the post says transforms, you are looking at it.
