Agnotology

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnotolo…
#agnotology here follows a handful of first lines from the definition blurbs from this websearch: duckduckgo.com/?q=agnotology+d… :The study of culturally-induced ignorance or doubt, particularly the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data.

Agnotology (formerly agnatology) is the study of deliberate, culturally-induced ignorance or doubt, typically to sell a product or win favour, particularly through the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data

Agnotology is the study of culturally induced ignorance or doubt, particularly the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data.

Agnotology (n.) the study of culturally-propagated ignorance or doubt in provable fact

Agnotology is a branch of science which looks at the ways in which doubt or ignorance about certain subjects is created. A very good example of how this happens is the publication of scientific studies that rely on data that is inaccurate or misleading. etymologically, my guess is the gno in there's like gnosis, like knowledge n learning. and the A before it, denoting an absence thereof, and the ology, being the study thereof.

and, i'll quote these two middle paragraphs from the simple english wiki page too, as i think they're excellent at highlighting what it is, and why it's important (not to mention the lesson from it to be applied to contemporary matters...) simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agno… ...

The neologism was coined by Robert N. Proctor,[1][2] a Stanford University professor specializing in the history of science and technology.[3] Proctor cites the tobacco industry's conspiracy to manufacture doubt about the cancer risks of tobacco use as a very good example of how this can be done. Under the banner of science, the industry produced research about everything except tobacco hazards to exploit public uncertainty.[4]

The way in which media attention works can be exploited to produce ignorance. Other factors that influence it are that corporations or governments do not reveal certain facts. At times, they force these facts to be removed if they have been revealed. The methods they use include censorship, destroying documents, putting the weight of certain facts differently, or being inattentive or forgetful.
