Infohazards and cognitohazards, while they exist, we don't know about them enough to discern the amount of harm they cause whether directly or indirectly.
While identifying them explicitly is dangerous, they can be detected by the negative. We can also determine something about their effects, if we are careful. Unfortunately it's akin to identifying a minefield by poking it.
