A neighborhood science club published daily reports of bird sightings. During one week, many accounts repeated that a rare bird had returned to the riverside. Most of them, however, referred to the same distant photograph. Repetition made the claim familiar, but it did not create several independent observations. The club therefore recorded when and where each observation had been made. It also asked observers to describe features that could distinguish the rare bird from a common species with similar colors. A report was not rejected merely because it was posted online, nor was it accepted merely because many other posts repeated it. The club judged reports by the independence of their sources and by whether their details addressed the identification question.

A claim can become easier to remember when many sources repeat it. Yet memory and support are different dimensions. If the sources copy one another, their number may exaggerate how much independent evidence exists. A careful reader must therefore ask both where the reports originated and whether their information bears on the present question.

Repeated exposure to a map can make its symbols easier to recognize. It does not necessarily make the map more current. Users should distinguish familiarity with the display from evidence that the underlying data have been updated.
