Appropriate trust is important.
Reliable information is available on this www.
It takes some skill and understating to sort the useful and the accurate from the rest.
Knowing the writer is of some help in judging in which cases and to what extent he may be trusted.
Here are some more tips I have found helpful in my attempts to get trustworthy, accurate, useful, reliable information:
~ Look for a post written or reviewed by a qualified professional or expert..
~ Be aware of the probable nature of the bias. A company selling a product is likely to have a bias in favor of that product.
~ Check the date of the post. Up-to-date info may be more useful than information that is several years old
~ Seek a second opinion. Get quality opinions from more than one source.
~ Get help to evaluate the information and how the information gathered applies to you.
When I express an opinion I am very happy when someone asks, "What makes you think so?" or "What is your evidence?"
A person who won't find time to answer a question may not be a good source.
