Track quiz
Before the questions, here is each idea in one line.
| Idea | The line to keep |
|---|---|
| It sounds sure | Sounding certain is not evidence. Look for the claim in the notice. It says this, or the opposite, or nothing. |
| Check before you share | Check a claim with what you know or a source you trust. The cost of being wrong decides how hard to check. |
| A list from taps | Suggestions can be built from a tally of what got tapped. Tap one kind much more, and it takes more of the list. |
| A narrow list | A list built from a lopsided tally stays lopsided. More of the top kind does not widen it. Taps on other kinds can. |
| Say what you did | Each part of your work has a record. Sort by the record, not by how the writing sounds. Then say what the record says. |

A machine writes "Three pipes feed the tank." The notice says one pipe feeds it. What does the notice do?

Why is "it says nothing" the verdict most easily missed?
