Claims and Narrative Investigations
When a claim spreads, trace it to its source and keep repetition apart from corroboration.
Repetition Starts to Look Like Proof
- The same assertion appears in hundreds of places.
- Competing accounts contradict each other.
- Nobody can say who claimed what first, or on what basis.
Follow the Claim Back to Its Source
- Record each assertion with its source and keep the attribution.
- Examine what each new source adds, and group the ones that only repeat.
- Investigate contradictions and review proposed corrections.
A Clear Account of the Claim
- Show the claim, where it started and who repeated it.
- Set the supporting and contradicting material side by side.
- State the limits of the finding plainly.
