Checks > Every session > C-09
Source ranking looks obvious in the abstract and collapses under pressure. Somebody whose usual address is quiet will accept a source they would have rejected an hour earlier, because the alternative is doing nothing. That is not carelessness, it is the predictable effect of wanting a result.
| Source | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Held before you needed it | Pass | Nothing about an outage changes what you already had |
| Signed announcement, signature checked | Pass | Verifiable rather than trusted |
| Directory you used before | Partial | Depends on the directory and placement is sometimes bought |
| Search result | Fail | Ranking reflects effort spent on ranking |
| Forwarded message or comment | Fail | Often passed on by somebody already caught |
You cannot reliably improve judgement at the moment you are frustrated and want access. You can remove the moment entirely by holding a set in advance, which turns an outage into waiting rather than searching.
Addresses are retired and replaced over time, so a saved source needs checking occasionally against a current one. That is a periodic item rather than a session item, and it is covered separately.
