Agreed.
In terms of the Government reports Ian linked to, they will have been through robust processes with many people challenging them and checking them to minimise human fallibility. In terms of other sources, that's not often a given.
I think it's also useful to understand the purpose of the information including knowing who it's intended audience is.
