Information, Corroboration and Evidence Are Not the Same Thing
A decision-maker can have abundant information and still lack evidence strong enough for reliance.
Information tells you what has been said or recorded.
Corroboration asks whether separate evidence supports the same proposition.
Evidence quality depends on source origin, authenticity, relevance and independence.
Reliance must remain proportionate to the evidentiary strength.
