First, what is the basis for this person's authority? Is the information third-hand hearsay from someone else, or is it from someone who has expertise? Second, how does it fit with your experiences, or what you know from other sources? I use concrete examples for emphasis. My fourteen year old might roll her eyes when she hears, "Who said that?

There are more. <br /><br />Pols? I wish Tom Coburn didn't go after social science funding, but I think he's substantive; I think Flake is, too. I've always thought John Kasich is substantive.
