Prereqs
Common misconceptions
- Treating disagreement between sources as proof that one is wrong (often both can be true; each adds a piece)
- Stopping at agreement-only (differences and unique coverage are equally informative)
- Skipping the WHY of difference (sources differ because their makers had different access, perspective, audience)
