Passage Summary: Usually, if you talk about a bad idea, people realize it is wrong, but some ideas are so tempting that talking about them just makes more people believe them.

Reasoning: While open debate usually makes bad ideas less popular, some specific misconceptions are so attractive that debating them actually increases their popularity.

Analysis: This stimulus presents a general rule followed by a specific exception. We are looking for a principle that captures this nuance—specifically, that a strategy which usually works can sometimes have the opposite of the intended effect. Look for an answer that acknowledges that while a certain action typically produces a desired result, there are specific circumstances where that same action backfires.
