In our main experiment, we presented participants from ten countries (Chile, China, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, UK, US) with ten cases of deceptive implicatures (DIs). DIs are literally true but can nevertheless trick the hearer into a false belief.

2. Experimental philosophers often have to compromise: Publishing in empirical journal often means to cut the philosophical aspects, while publishing in philosophy often comes with cuts regarding the empirical aspects

Two points of our motivation:
1. Reclaiming the means of production πŸ˜‰ (scientists doing the work, whereas publishers making the money by charging the people whose taxes are used to pay the scientists does not seem right)
