Just once.
Fake "news" mentions some fake "racist" incident at some company. The management predictably runs the boilerplate tape about "Zero tolerance for racism".
Just once I'd like to hear an administrator start with ZERO TOLERANCE FOR FAKERY.
On college campuses precisely 100% of these "hate" incidents have turned out to be self-inflicted fakes.
Supposedly colleges are meant to train "critical thinking". If you are thinking, critically or otherwise, you should be capable of INDUCTIVE REASONING and JUDGMENT. When a specific type of event is known to be fraudulent 100% of the time, you don't even need statistics. The null hypothesis is fakery, unless and until facts prove otherwise.
This doesn't apply quite so firmly outside of campuses, where only about 95% of such "incidents" turn out to be fake. In that case a more open and objective null hypothesis makes sense.
