What is real information?

摘要

Data and information have only as much potential value as their source has credibility.In this age of "fake news" and dubious intention, streams of words related to any topic — not necessarily information — flow from the internet at the touch of a button. Infinity and repetition race against research and careful consideration. Bombast and hysteria masquerade as value.I was reminded of this recently by the familiar and admirable approach employed by someone seeking information about an idea he had to use some of his forage differently than in the past, different from anyone he knew.
