Les liens sont symétriques — A~B équivaut à B~A. Les familles sont les ensembles qui naissent des liens qui tiennent, et seule une famille formée peut être nommée, par une personne. Vos propres liens portent un ✕ pour les retirer ; vous ne pouvez pas retirer ceux des autres. Les familles organisent le mur et ne conditionnent jamais le vote — deux fiches qui font la même AFFIRMATION relèvent d’une fusion, en phase Clarification.

Distrust of authorities makes people dismiss health warnings as unrelated to pollution.
Skepticism towards government or scientific claims can hinder acceptance of pollution risks.
