Make that "perceived" truth as a whole. Going to academic sites, such as OED, are not questioned for the site's authenticity (usually), whereas the millions of blogs out there are some person spouting whatever comes to mind (Unless we consider Dilbert.com, because of course Scott Adams always writes the truth and only the truth without error or omission). Merely counting hits ain't the be-all and end all, but anyways the point is that a more accepted spelling is more likely to be found on the internet than a misspelling.
Okay, you get the point. Basically what Yogah was inferring.
