It’s the one I had the most trouble grasping, probably because it works so subtly, as you pointed out here.

-check out the Noun Project for CC (and scaleable) icons
-a game that serves up individual sentences from rhetoric-laden texts (maybe political speeches?) could be a fun way to train people to see these tactics out of context
-Google ‘Dan Schultz Truth Goggles’ and read the Neiman Lab post. It’s a project similar to hypothesis that had a similar goal of engaging critical thinking rather than telling you the answer.

Really nice work!
