The article mentions Brandolini’s Law:

“The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it.”

It's the first time I've heard it, but it's a very appropriate observation in today's world where misinformation travels faster and wider than correct information. If you're just making stuff up, it's much faster than looking up sources.
