If it implies something then we need to make sure that when we make an assertion based on the implication that we don't state it as a fact but as an opinion
That's a critical issue, imho. And another like it is basing an inference on a prior inference. (Secondary inference?) And then making another inference (tertiary inference.)
The probability of accuracy gets less with each added inference....not that it isn't true, but that it's suspect.
