@yannis It's obviously a logical fallacy to use that as a rule, but a "contrary to the bias" is a not-bad rule of thumb to assume accuracy being likely. If HuffPost post something detrimental to progressive cause, or DailyCaller posts something detrimental to right wing, either one is probably accurate. As either one went against their ideological grain and thus if it was inaccurate, would have posted a proof that it's false, gladly.
If I read a post about how Perl is slow in a Java blog, i'm skeptical. If I read the same post on a Perl blog, i'm less skeptical. Obviously, either way, i'd prefer benchmarks over handwaving; and ideally check the benchmarks' methodology.
sigh. This wonderful questionhas an upvote. In which universe does it show research effort, is useful, or clear?
