Quote by Terry Pratchett

DO NOT PUT ALL YOUR TRUST IN ROOT VEGETABLES. WHAT THINGS SEEM TO BE MAY NOT BE WHAT THEY ARE.-Death

DO NOT PUT ALL YOUR TRUST IN ROOT VEGETABLES. WHAT THINGS SE

Summary

This cryptic quote can be interpreted as a warning against blindly trusting appearances or assuming that things are exactly as they seem. Root vegetables, in this context, symbolize something that appears reliable or trustworthy on the surface. However, Death reminds us that things may not be as they appear, urging caution and critical thinking in our assessment of situations and people. It serves as a reminder to avoid naivety and to question assumptions before placing our trust in anything or anyone.

I know that from the days of Watergate... the notion of two sources on a story has become the popular dogma about how you confirm something. And there is a lot of truth to that, but there are all kinds of ways to check to the extent that you can, a story that you get.
