I'd have said that the general principle is that normally we don't  
try to adjudicate truth or resolve conflicting sources.

If there are conflicting sources and you're pretty sure one is right  
_and nobody else cares,_ just put in the one that's right. If  
_somebody else cares_ then, even if they're an idiot, put in both and  
source them both.  Why not?
