“Most bloggers have no institutional credibility, and so they must build it, by linking transparently, and allowing you to easily double check their work. But more than anything, because linking sources is such an easy thing to do, and the motivations for avoiding links are so dubious, I've detected myself using a new rule of thumb: if you don't link to primary sources, I just don't trust you.” IfsPainMotivationEasySourceChecksPrimariesTherapyThings To DoInjuryLinksAllowingAvoidingCredibilityThumbsDon't TrustDubiousBloggersEasy ThingsPrimary Source Author:Ben Goldacre

“... the sciences are like a beautiful river, of which the course is easy to follow, when it has acquired a certain regularity; but if one wants to go back to the source, one will find it nowhere, because it is everywhere; it is spread so much [as to be] over all the surface of the earth; it is the same if one wants to go back to the origin of the sciences, one will find only obscurity, vague ideas, vicious circles; and one loses oneself in the primitive ideas.” IfsWantIdeasEarthBeautifulCertainCoursesEasyLosesSourceRiversOneselfSpreadSurfaceCirclesPrimitiveVagueViciousObscurityRegularityVicious CirclesVague IdeasBeautiful River Author:Lazare Carnot
