Evaluation of Information
There is a saying in the computer business: ‘Garbage in leads to garbage out’ (GIGO).
No matter how good your computer hardware and software, if the starting data is meaningless, then any resultant output is also going to be useless. In a similar manner, no matter how brilliantly you analyze a situation, if you start with faulty information then any conclusions will also be faulty. For clear thinking, it is essential to make every effort to ensure the quality of the information that you are dealing with.
