A SECOND LOOK
A question to carry into the reading
Treat the BPC-157 profile as a chance to build a traceable record for one claim. Start with the exact statement you want to check, follow its citation, and locate the passage that is supposed to support it. Note the document title and section so another reader could repeat your search. If you reach a general landing page, keep looking for the specific material before marking the claim as checked. A list of references is not the same as a completed trail for each statement. Your record should show both the passage you found and why it answers the question you started with.
Questions to keep beside the page
- Can I follow this claim to a specific passage rather than a general page?
- What document title and section would let someone else repeat my check?
- How does the passage support the exact statement I am examining?
