	Hoax
		Unlike a fraud or con, which are made for illicit financial or material gain, or a pious fraud, which is perpetrated for religious reasons, a hoax is often perpetrated as a practical joke with a humorous intent, to cause embarrassment, for personal aggrandizement or to serve political purposes.
		Many hoaxes are also motivated by a desire to satirize or educate by exposing the credulity of the public or the absurdity of the target: literary and artistic hoaxes are often of this sort, although political hoaxes are sometimes motivated in part or whole by the desire to ridicule or expose politicians or political institutions.
		The status of a given factoid as reliable or hoax is often the subject of considerable controversy.

		Dreadnought would use steam turbines in place of the older triple-expansion engines that had powered almost all previous ships, with a design speed of a steady 21 knots (39 km/h).
		Dreadnought could, at most, deliver a broadside of eight guns, and fire eight guns abaft or six ahead, in each case only in a narrow range of angles; in no case could she put the full weight of available fire, ten 12 inch (30 cm), on target.
		The vessels which Dreadnought were expected to engage could only bring to bear four guns of similar size, plus a host of smaller weapons which would be kept at a safe stand-off distance by Dreadnought's shells.

		Here's the text of that: "One of the lighter moments of Virginia Woolf's life is when she took part in a very public practical joke cooked up by her brother Adrian Stephen and his friend and classmate Horace Cole.
		For some reason I can't connect with that link, so I have gone to the late Gordon Stein's excellent Encyclopedia of Hoaxes, where we learn that this hoax was hatched in 1926, fully a decade after Lord Kitchener's death in World War I, by a movie publicist.
		The waters are deep indeed, and a guilty man caught in a risky hoax would, almost surely would, have drowned in them.

		But I wonder if early Europeans were any more susceptible … after all, we do have other examples of such Orientalist hoaxes from later in history: such as the Princess Caraboo from the island of Javasu (aka Mary Baker) in 1817, or even Virginia Woolf who participated in the famed Dreadnought hoax of 1910.
