They really need to explain why and how they define "influence campaign" to make it clear why this matters. Just because a person is real doesn't mean they're being honest, or accurate. And just because an account was a throw away account doesn't mean it's dishonest or inaccurate.

>making it difficult to tell what was a genuine post and what was not. Let’s compare some to see if you can tell the difference. Spoiler: It isn’t easy. Actually it's really easy. Just look at the number of likes/responses.

Actually, that's not the trick, you need to look at which post is trying to sow discord versus saying something semi-constructive.
