Telling fact from fiction

[Excited Penguin]

Fair enough.

This is meant to be a first pass, a smell test. A way to look for obvious fiction. It's not meant to validate the accounts any further than that. We're just comparing believable to non-believable.

I'll add this to the OP, maybe I wasn't clear enough on this point.

I'll repeat what I said earlier. What you're looking for is a proper education, not a magical solution. So they're either educated enough to think critically, or not. But you're not going to educate them instantly, by following some sort of principles. That's just not how a thinking mind works, or learns for that matter. It's more of a natural process.

I can sense that I'm missing the mark somewhat here as well, as concerns what you're actually asking for, but given how I understand it now, that's what I have to say at the moment. I'm sorry if I'm misinterpreting what you said and so responding to something else than what you really had in mind.
