How do you know that the research you’ve conducted is accurate, rather than just precise?


For most things, verification is far easier than getting the answer. The same is the case with using stack overflow, where I think that at least half the answer doesn't answer my query, but once I have the potential solution, it is easy to look for the documentation of the key function call etc. Or purely by running it if it is simple and doesn't seem dangerous.


I don't

And I don't care. As I wrote in the initial comment:

> ... kick-start my research ...

I use it in conjunction with search engines.


How do you know when you go to google that your research is accurate?
