So your method of assessing the veracity of information has nothing to do with the information itself, but is entirely based upon who it's from?

[chengiz]

Not entirely. But I do know the meaning of vested in vested interests.

[csallen]

If someone tells me 2+2=4 or even 2+2=5, it won't matter to me what their vested interests are, unless I don't know arithmetic.

[chengiz]

Same. But I don't conflate Koolaid with arithmetic.
