Source Credibility** Who made the statement? Does the source have a track record of reliability, or a documented history of bias and misinformation? Identity and provenance matter as much as the claim itself. **3\. Statement Clarity & Precision** Is the statement clearly defined and specific, or is it vague, hyperbolic, and stripped of important meaning? Imprecision distorts meaning even when facts are present. We identify when a statement sacrifices clarity for persuasion. **4\.
