Well said!

On a related note, Michael Lewis has an excellent podcast called _Against the Rules_, and one of the episodes focuses on what happens when we can't trust the referee. In this case, the referees in question were scholars entrusted with deciding whether classic works of art were legitimately painted by the artists they claim to have been painted by (like a da Vinci).

I won't go on too much about it, other than to say in this discussion of podcasts and trusting journalists, there happens to be a great podcast about the challenge of trust. We have to trust SOMEONE, but so often that trust is abused.



Interesting, thanks very much. I'd never heard of Against the Rules, and it sounds like exactly the sort of thing I'll love!

(And a nice touch that we're now full-circle to the topic of podcasts.)
