Who to Believe About Requirements and Why That Helps Less Than Expected

Not all accounts carry the same weight. The mistake. Official sources are authoritative and frequently unreadable. Badly organised, written for administrators, occasionally contradicting themselves across pages. Avoidance. The difficulty is real and the authority is not available anywhere else. Vivid and wrong for you. Somebody describing their own experience accurately. The problem. Which is the specific failure mode. Personal and dated. The warning. The fourth. Useful, not authoritative. A hierarchy resolves this. The division. Important. Settled. what to do when two official sources disagree the process is actually like is a matter of experience with no official answer. The contents. Each has a domain. The confusion. The critical signal. Assume stale. Much is undated. The specific risk. When two official sources disagree, which happens, asking directly is the resolution. Time. Getting the answer in writing matters when the answer is unusual. Evidence. Checking again close to departure catches changes made since the first check. Which almost nobody does and occasionally matters a great deal. Those who have not been caught by a change checked a second time shortly before leaving.
