Thinking for yourself is like weight lifting. If someone always lifts heavy things for you, then you'll be too weak to do it when you need to.  This method teaches you how to filter out disinfo, and enables us to come up with our own connections without giving away too much. By looking enough like a LARP, how people react to it is different. For example Neon Revolt is expressing doubts, thereby revealing info on if they're a shill. It also serves as a signal to look somewhere. Trains you to notice things.
