Most of our knowledge comes from multiple individuals who have researched a subject.
Like the Birthers?
Sorry, I couldn't resist. 
There is so much FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) and misinformation out there about pretty much everything that coming to a conclusion based on actual facts is a challenge most people don't have the time to overcome. Relying on someone else to do it for you is to place a huge amount of trust in that person... which is what the primary post is about. Of course, doing so is what opens us to said FUD/misinformation in the first place.
It's quite scary to think...

This is why one reads more than one thing on a subject before coming to a conclusion on it. *NM*

It might be obvious but it's not always true

I know, but I can't think of any concrete examples in normal space.
