How do you judge an article by its merits when it involves something complex that you don’t already fully understand? I don’t have the time or desire to become an expert in tax policy, so I have to use some other signal to measure the merits of this article. At some point, that signal will come down to reputation of SOMEBODY or SOMETHING, and looking at the other articles posted by this site is a good starting point.
- centimeter 6y agoYou can determine if the article is internally self-consistent and externally consistent with your priors.
- cortesoft 6y agoThose two things are necessary, but not sufficient, to prove something is credible. The best propaganda will meet those two requirements.
