And instantly, I think to myself: 1. Can't trust the allegation. Whistleblowers get money for revealing fraud and they might think the "juice is worth the squeeze" 2. There's an incentive for the banks to overstate the profitability of their assets

Then I synthesize these two things together and just say to myself: "It's a wash, there's no way I can know what is happening here." And then I file this information in this general mental category that is my repository of "finance is full of bullshit" stuff.

So yeah, tl;dr, I distill large bodies of information into simple concepts, usually focussing on incentives and delete almost all information that comes into my head as soon as it does for the purposes of focussing on the core simple driving concepts.
