Reply to comment by asbruckman in People who post stories marked false by Snopes on Reddit fall into five groups: Reason to Disagree, Changed Belief, Steadfast Non-Standard Belief, Sharing to Debunk, and Sharing for Humor. Reducing misinformation requires different approaches for each group. by asbruckman

“Persistent False Belief” does not appear to be one of the categories listed in the findings. Is that an alternative name for one or more of the categories?

Oh sorry--that was the term we used in an earlier draft of the paper, and it's stuck in my head. We changed it to "Steadfast Non-Standard Belief." That's a much better term because we're not necessarily saying their belief is wrong--just that it's non-standard.
