‘Fly fishing rests on pure deception. A replica of an insect is flicked over the surface of the river, luring an unsuspecting fish into rising to the surface for the next tasty insect morsel. The more convincing the fly, the better it will work. So it is with fake news or false teaching. If it didn’t resemble the real thing, people would never be taken in. What resembles good food is actually a trap.’
