How to  confirm? What counts as confirmation?  What sorts of things need  
confirmation? These are very interesting questions, as there are many  
types of situations.  But one thing that we have always been very  very 
good at is taking the time to develop a nuanced  policy.



I wouldn't say academia should be the only criteria for credibility.   What 
about work in field or exposure to it?  Someone who fought in World  War II or 
a family member who had their loved one being killed in action  provides 
exposure to the topics involved.  Often, historians interview  those involved.  
Slavery and the Civil War provide other  examples.
