When doing research, you have to start somewhere, and using all the knowledge gained from sources can ultimately help your final draft or product. Knowledge is power anyways, right?
Most of the time I would look at the description for my search results, but never the links. It is kind of common sense to look at it though, I just never thought to. This can definitely save time, and after a while you may realize which websites are trustworthy and which ones are not. If the same sketchy website pops up multiple times, then you know which one to avoid. In this way, I believe it is an example of how it is good to take in the good and bad information.
Chapter five’s definitions and explanations of agreements and disagreements were interesting. Fringe was a new concept to me, and it was a bit confusing as well. I think it can take time to really think about which side of the argument or theory the expert or scholar is on, but after a while it will be easier to identify. I think knowing this types of agreements and disagreements can help a writer get the results they are looking for.
