that is reasonable advice. but unfortunately I can't find the speech or other first-hand reports on my own. and then, even first-hand reports may have undisclosed biases and interests. that's why I find "my" dialectic technique to seek truth out of conflicting reports so useful: it is like science, in that it progressively filters out noise and converges on truth, regardless of the motivations behind the noises. I can't control the amount of noise in the random sources that reach me, I can resist only so much the triggers that intentional pieces of propaganda try to inflict on us, but I can learn something by contrasting conflicting reports, if they find their way to me, or if I manage to find them on my own, which is getting harder and harder in the increasingly toxic web
