@cicerone imposter,
True. I, for the most part, try to obtain a few responses to the same question, then balance it out to discover what the truth might be. It's similar to an accountant, totaling up the list of numbers. Years back, I was working a part time temp job, and instructed by my supervisor to always run the total at least twice. If there was a difference, then run a third time, followed by checking each entry side by side from one tally tape to the next.
