You can verify information by looking at what’s in the medical literature.

You know like it’s one thing for me to say that OB/GYNs don’t know the innervation of the clitoris. I can’t verify that.

But I could say it was not in OB/GYN literature, which was true until this year, after I sent hundreds of emails complained about it on social media.

However, the fact that it wasn’t in their literature and few seemed to acknowledge the omission was clear evidence most don’t know it.

Similarly, when there are lots of factual errors published in the medical literature on a given subject, that’s pretty easy to verify simply with the actual evidence. You know like claims that the clitoral glans is 1–2 cm long can be disproven with a mere photo. But it gets published in medical literature because ignorance about the clitoris is so pervasive and borderline insane.
