> We’re used to thinking of information as being representational—that is, a piece of information represents reality, and might be true or false. But another way to look at information is to see it as a “social nexus” capable of putting people into “formation.” From this perspective, it doesn’t matter whether information is true or not.

@rabbit74 I got from the 'another way of looking at it' that the text it might be about:

➡️ showing that you could put people into a formation from the way info was presented

and / or

➡️ the way people think is a bit fickle like that, true or not or as a cynical comment or not, and naturally or not... we are a bit fickle or imperfect, copying others, taking wrong signs, maintaining tribal identities etc

The above might be repeating what was said as somewhat simpler, and doesn't negate anything you said.
