When it comes to disinformation:  I rather doubt that those who might be
influenced by and are the target of such disinformation are even aware
of the possibility of verification.  Don't forget, these are people who
have been brought up to believe every answer that a pocket calculator
might give them, mis-keyings notwithstanding.  Such ill-educated people
(i.e. 99% of the population) don't even have the concept of a sanity
check.  "I've read it in the paper / seen it on TV / the computer says"
therefore it must be true.  

Do I have a poor opinion of my gullible fellow man, or at least those
from generations after us boomers (we who were trained to question the
potentially suspect information that we were fed)?  Damn right I do.  
These lumpen, uncritical, masses are what wannabe tyrants rely upon.
