faction
the other day alisa wanted to know the root depth of giant redwood trees. she found a site that seemed to be factual. some 3 meters in case you're curious. but the site also went on and on about some old pine tree that had too many rings to be consistent with god's biblical destruction of every plant animal and rock during his noah's ark flood temper tantrum. today i wandered my way to a site explaining how the yellowstone supervolcano is overdue for its next super eruption. looked good. except they went on with how this was important for the end days. and how the bible codes predict an eruption in 2010. man. can i trust their facts? or are they "facts"? my options at this point are: accept everything on the site as true, reject everything on the site as false, reject the obvious hooey and do more research to confirm the rest. i suppose that could be the propagation strategy of the "fact". ie i'm on this page with all these other facts. i must be true too. buyer beware.
