You’re retired and you research things because you enjoy it

Find the thing you read six months ago and cannot locate again

Not answers — recall. You read something months ago, you know it matters, and you cannot find it again. Give it what you’ve gathered and ask it to lay out what the sources agree on, where they conflict, and what’s missing. You stay the one who decides.

Try saying

“Here are five things I’ve read about this. Show me where they disagree with each other, and tell me what question I haven’t asked yet.”
