We tried that with the Internet. Wasn't a great success either. Greatest tool even for confirmation biasing, though... people can almost always find enough information to support the insanest idea, that they don't feel bad about how much other information they have to ignore (ie the India case isn't applicable because the new idea is better and different... and the Internet can provide ample reasons for why that is, too).
