Page 190. This is part of a broader movement to teach kids to think like fact checkers, the guidelines include, interrogate information instead of simply consuming it, and reject rank and popularity as a proxy for reliability, and understand that the sender of information is often not its source.

In the book
To question your own beliefs and actions is often the very best way to learn, and acquiring real knowledge is not passive: it takes deliberate, sustained effort. Treat every mistake as a lesson rather than a failure — the only real mistake is the one from which you learn nothing — and learn to interrogate information instead of simply swallowing it, thinking like a fact-checker who refuses to treat popularity as proof. And learn the way children do, by doing. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
