Images and information can be synthetic so our individual models of the world are at least as important as what we can see, read and hear. It's important to ask the question: Does this signal I'm getting make sense? And it not, is it my cognitive failure or is the signal fake? I think it is important to cross-reference our models on public matters, since a model be convincing in context (even provably correct) but fail in an another, and because of the possibility of faulty reasoning or mental disease.
