And I'm not micro-investigating. I'm fact checking the micro-investigation of images which purport to show something we want to believe (confirmation bias), but which is highly improbable - as I typically do when someone posts stuff like this.

Truth matters, and we shouldn't be spreading crap like this unless we have fact-checked it and found it to be at least likely to be true.
