August update: MetaFilter's Cloudflare setup is preventing us checking for new mod actions.
Until that's resolved, this archive may be out of date.
The OP wrote "If so, what is the source of this idea? I would like to see an article, if you have it."
So if people do know of published sources of the ideas the OP is asking about, it would be helpful to the OP to share those links.
