I’ve been diving into private investigation techniques and keep coming back to the idea of sourcing. I know that documents and records can make or break a case, but I wonder how often folks encounter shaky sources. Has anyone dealt with a case where the information you thought was solid turned out to be unreliable? It makes me think about the balance of instinct and data analysis in this field?
I totally get where you’re coming from with the whole ‘shaky sources’ thing. , it really drives me nuts when you think you have a goldmine of info, only to find out it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on. I learned to cross-reference everything — trust, but verify, right? Have you tried aligning your instincts with more reliable databases or online records?
But you’re spot on about the struggle with shaky sources. It’s like thinking you’ve found a rare coin only to realize it’s a penny that’s seen better days. When you come across questionable info, it’s always good to cross-reference with multiple sources.
You’re right about the importance of sources. I once thought a witness was credible but later found out they had a motive to lie. It’s crucial to dig deeper, maybe even verify with multiple people. How do you usually approach confirming information?
