Reliable evidence refers to information or data that can be trusted and is considered credible. It is based on accurate and unbiased sources, providing support for claims or arguments.
Think of reliable evidence as a sturdy foundation for a building. Just like a strong foundation ensures the stability of a structure, reliable evidence provides a solid basis for your arguments.
Validity: The extent to which evidence accurately measures what it claims to measure.
Credibility: The quality of being trustworthy and believable.
Bias: Prejudice or favoritism that may influence the collection or interpretation of evidence.
