Which unknown is worth checking first?

Information is useful when it can change a decision. Before choosing a room for an event, confirming its capacity may matter more than comparing wall colours. A question has high decision value when different answers would lead to different actions and the answer can be obtained at a reasonable cost.

source

Sometimes the fact remains but its source disappears

Remembering information and remembering where it came from are separate achievements. You may recall a restaurant recommendation but forget whether it came from a friend, an advertisement or a review. This source-memory gap matters because the origin can change how much weight the information deserves.
