familiarity/strength
Dear members
"The fact that we've heard a claim repeated over and over again doesn't make it correct.
But if can lead us to accept this claim as correct even when it's not, because we can confuse a statement's familiarity with its accuracy.
Advertisers who tell us repeatedly that "Seven of eight dentists surveyed recommended Brightshin Toothpaste above all other brands!" employ this principle without mercy."
Hearing is often believing, especially when we hear a statement over and over again."
Could I replace the "familiarity" underlined to "strength" in any simlilar meaning with these sentences above.
Thanks in advance

mbouti Could I replace the "familiarity" underlined to "strength" in any simlilar meaning with these sentences above. You replace one thing "with" another, not "to". I don't exactly understand what you mean by "in any simlilar meaning with these sentences above", but, as far as I can tell, the answer to your question is no.
