In one study mentioned in the article, people thought that the information they remembered was from the CDC -- they just forgot whether the information was true or false. The problem is not that just that we forget where we learned something, but that we forget that it is false.
That's within my point. I was using synecdoche to refer to a larger category of possible problems for which I have no nice description. Maybe it would help if I added "and things of that sort".
