The source of information is not a valid complaint if the information in nonetheless useful or valid.



I would argue that the source is a valid complaint, but i might have overreacted after reading atleast one more article.

Like this one, http://tranquilmonkey.com/19-super-foods-naturally-cleanse-l...

They actually do write in the article that there is no research done to back up the "superfood detox" and actually seem to provide some good tips instead. But I still cant understand why they go for that style of article headlines.


The facts should stand for themselves without care who expresses them.

I agree to always check who the source is. Be aware of its baises and so on.

Still, in 1945 Raymond L. Libby invented an oral delivery method for penicillin. Had Hitler done this, would that discovery not still have been important or valid?
