That still leaves you with the other half.

The other half of what?

You: and I don't think I'd trust half of these sources

Me: That still leaves you with the other half.


Which means you trust half of these sources. That would suffice, I guess. The point being that you may selectively pick up one or more sources, declare them unreliable, and thus dismiss the entire point. -or- You could skip those sources which you don't trust, and focus on the point, based on those which you do trust.

I don't trust half the sources, and don't know enough about the other half to be able to make a balanced judgement. They may have a point, this is true, but then the crazy man in palimant sqaure holding boards saying the freemasons did 9/11 might have a point about Global Warning, but I'd rather trust the scientists.
