Question

a person receiving data from a source, even themselves, must be willing to display whatever is necessary to prove their data is accurate and valid. Once your materials/data/ source is proved unreliable, it does not matter what information you provide, your credibility is ruined. True or false, explain.

Answer 1

It is true.

As here you are ready to provide all the information to prove the data is accurate. But in order to establish that you are using unreliable source. If the source of the material itself is unreliable, whatever results you produce using that material or data automatically becomes unreliable. As there is no guarantee that the material you have used is giving you expected outcome. Same is the case with data, if the data on the basis of which you are trying to prove your data is not authentic than automatically any data proven to be true on that basis becomes unauthentic.
