Some people want to go with their gut feeling since some things make sense; however, the further you dig, the more one realizes it is not the absolute truth. With so many sources and perspectives, we have to wonder what is logical. This is why we do research. Verified aims to show us how to simplify the research we need to get logical answers to logical questions.
You cannot believe everything everyone says, just like you cannot believe everything you read on the internet. The point in lateral reading is to help quickly fish out the truth without the false, and observing links instead of just big words and descriptions can help you get accurate results.
It is all about perspective in logic, yes, but some things are agreed upon because society (I hate using that word) agrees with it. The agreements and disagreements section of chapter five will show which side of a theory or argument someone is on. In this way, someone can assume the logic the expert or scholar is using to get to their conclusion, since not everyone will use the same results when searching for information.
