Funny, my brain just assumed it's all broken hyperlinks or something, and until the PS I didn't consciously realize there were any colors in the article.

Me too, but I fear I may be primed to believing Eliezer as his previous posts contained stuff that I heard about before, granting him some advantage. Or it may be Authority...

Anyway: I find it interesting that a german newspaper mostly known for being the lowest form of journalism imaginable (but still highest-grossing) uses a similar technique in their "articles": they print more or less randomly chosen fragments in bold or italics. Could using confusing fonts really be enough to get people to "believe everything"?

Something else I noticed: all highlighted phrases in this article are negative. This may have primed against the postive effects here. Somebody should test this.
