If an answer is properly sourced, you can always verify the validity of the sources. If an answer is not properly sourced, downvote it and comment asking for sources. | |

But there's nothing that actually proves that someone is a certified expert whose word can be trusted. You can get logical ideas on how history happened, but in a very informal manner. | |
