This is a good tool to use to decide whether a claim is true or false. It covers a wide range of issues that can be overlooked when evaluating a claim. The most important point is that we have to humbly evaluate our evidence and make decisions based on evidence and not let personal biases or beliefs get in the way of the truth. This is probably the hardest part for most people to do when evaluating something that they have believed for years, especially when the evidence points towards them being wrong about their beliefs.
Personal beliefs keep many people from analyzing information accurately because they only want to prove their beliefs true and do not want to find out that they are wrong. If the evidence does point to their beliefs being wrong they will try to find some excuse to justify their beliefs and will stop looking for the truth. To turn your back of beliefs you have had the most of your life, even though they are found out to be false, is a very difficult for many people to do. It is more comfortable to ignore the facts and live in ignorance.
