Why Five Sources May Still Be One Source

Five apparently separate sources can create false confidence when they all depend on the same original claim.

Share this guide

Source count is not source independence.

Repeated reporting can amplify one error without adding new evidence.

The useful question is whether corroboration comes from genuinely independent evidence origins.

A reliable review records dependence rather than treating repetition as confirmation.

Why this matters

This matters whenever a decision depends on a widely repeated claim that has not been traced back to its evidence origin.
