Why would you trust anything? Not to go to the extreme, but we do things every day where trust is integral, and what we trust is not something we verify independently. Or maybe you are different.
- jsight 9y agoIt isn't really a matter of verifying it independently. But we know that Google isn't the expert on dog eating and is only getting their information from third party sources. So we have to know the source to consider its credibility instead of Google's.
- VonGallifrey 9y agoYes we do things every day where trust is integral, but I do verify independently accordingly. This is relative to the importance of the thing off course. That is just common sense. I accept googles answer when I ask for the weather. If google is wrong on this it mostly has no effect. So it is absolutely appropriate to accept this answer blindly. I trust my doctor when I have a minor illness, but I did select my doctor carefully and I would get a second opinion if it is something serious. Putting the same care into both of these things would either be dangerous or obsessive. It does terrify me that people here are suggesting that there are people who put less care into answering medical or safety related questions for themselves than I do reading a weather report for the day. It's crazy.
