Hi Jonathan,

Thank you very much for your feedback so far.

I have just written a proposal (still a draft at the moment any comment is
welcomed)

With a basic search, I found this website which is probably quite helpful:
https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/15-popular-audio-myths
<https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/15-popular-audio-myths>
At the moment an idea would be the myth that "Digital audio has steps",
which could be achieved by using adding quantisation noise using a filter.
Does that sound like a viable idea?

Given the timeframe, I will just stick to the Fake News project.

Kind regards,
