Start with the passage. Read the surrounding verses and consider who is speaking and how the language works.
Follow the interpretation. See the strongest reading alongside the question or objection it still has to answer.
Inspect the evidence. A model prediction, a documented event and a measurement have different jobs. Source access is recorded separately.
Keep the question open. “Untested” means a test is still needed. “Contradicted” means the available record challenges that claim. A large collection is a starting point for checking, not a count of proven facts.
