I tell you the difference.

Did you get your world view solely from mainstream media or alternative media.

Or did you do your own research asking hard questions. Who could profit? What could be underlying agendas? Are people or institutions dependent on public money? Are they pressured into something?

If you conclude all that is not the case then youbcan weigh probabilities based on your subjective knowledge or feeling on a topic. That doesn't mean you are smarter. Just that your position will be based on reality with a much higher probability.
