Look for facts and build on them, patiently, they are few & far between. Study the evidence carefully, cross reference & compare, always skeptical, no matter the source.
Subject solutions to minute scrutiny. Too often the proposer permits himself the luxury of gross evidence distortion to prop up a pet theory, while condemning the same practice in others.
Beware of the ecumenical approach, a failure of many reconstructions, feebly attempting to force-fit the full gamut of witnesses into an ill-founded scheme.
Instead, ruthlessly banish liars & lies, reserving cautious judgment as to the value of whatever remains.
Give ax grinders short shrift, and this above all: don't kick against the pricks.
