Primes¶
- Motivated Reasoning
- When it would not be, the discount was the gate.
This sourceShows that discounting a source on prior credibility beliefs is accuracy-seeking Bayesian updating rather than directional gating, and that the two are separable only against a benchmark stated in advance.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract backs the idea that a credibility-based discount need not be directional gating, but says nothing about a benchmark stated in advance, so only the frame is supported.
“we suggest that the empirical evidence is not so clear, and is equally consistent with a theory in which citizens strive to form accurate beliefs but vary in what they consider to be credible evidence”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
