I have no idea of the context either that's why I prefer to go for the
scientific approach and won't develop more:

1) Is it possible to have the source (link) of the statement to see the
context and to judge by myself eventually ?

2) while not the case:

"If you're looking at something and you don't know where it comes from, if
there's no pointer to the source, you can ignore it."

Tim *Berners*-*Lee* (WWW 'father')

Judging without sources (on faith then) seems a lot like "Guru" behavior to
me . Maybe that's why some countries go easily to war, following their Guru
without asking for the sources (something which could have been part of the
curriculum maybe ).
