Assign claims with varying degrees of Initial Plausibility:
Only serves as a rough or temporary assessment;
Assessment depends on how consistent the claim is to our background information;
If it fits well - compatible and not contradictory - then the claim has a high degree of Initial Plausibility and is generally accepted;
If not Initially Plausible, it is otherwise conflicted - low degree of initial plausibility and rejected whether there is strong evidence or not.

In considering credibility of claims:
Test against background information;
Keep an open mind to effectively evaluate any given information;
Read widely, converse freely and cultivate an inquiring attitude;
There is no substitute for broad, general knowledge.
Fewer people involved in reporting information, the more chances of the information being 'managed'.
§01.06
