Recognise where an informative explanation becomes a promise that the cited evidence does not establish.
A warning sign does not prove that every associated statement is false. It tells you where to slow down and inspect the original evidence. The goal is to find a checkable answer, not to judge by tone or design alone. Start by writing the exact promise in one sentence. Then identify which source is offered in support. This creates a clear target for checking instead of an argument about whether the overall presentation feels convincing.
Phrases such as clinically proven should lead to an identifiable study and a defined outcome. A citation that cannot be found or does not address the promise leaves a gap. Ask for the original document rather than another promotional summary. If you only have a claim and no usable source, record that limitation. Do not replace missing evidence with either confidence based on repetition or a guess about what an unavailable study might have shown.
