also, this is a game theory asymmetry problem. making bullshit is cheap. verifying what is true, is expensive, this is based on the same principle as hash functions and signature algorithms, which are cheap to produce (because you know the secret) and expensive to reverse (because you can only brute force guess at the secret number of the encryption).
it also refers to the fact that accurate information is scarce and valuable.
making the pile of candidates bigger doesn't really change the number of "true" statements that was muddled to generate bullshit. that's why we now have the information overload problem in our society, that just got orders of magnitude worse because manufacturing bullshit is now practically without cost, and the firehose nature of this raises the cost of verification a lot further.
but really, while it may seem like the Deceivers have got the upper hand here, in actual fact, what has happened is the premium for truth has just gone up by several orders of magnitude.
