> Should we trust the information at face value without verifying from other sources? Of course not, that's part of the learning process.

It mostly isn't, the point of the good learning process is to invest time into verifying "once" and then add verified facts to the learning material so that learners can spend that time learning the material instead of verifying everything again.

Learning to verify is also important, but it's a different skill that doesn't need to be practiced literally every time you learn something else.

Otherwise you significantly increase the costs of the learning process.
