When I use information to come to a conclusion by definition it mean that I don't use information that contradicts the conclusion. I think you would say I "ignored" those sources, I would simply cite the sources used.

I have a 10 year old son. If I told him that you owned guns and I don't want him ever to step foot in your home. Without sharing with him all of my "intelligence" you would say I hid information. I would say, I shared the information he needed to know.

If however, the Dept of Tobacco and Fire arms presented you with information showing I was indeed no threat , and that the guns you thought I had were non existent, I would expect you to consider heavily the Data coming from the very people you pay to know these things.

I been through this several times. I would not give more credibility to the Dept. of Tobacco and Fire Arms over my own research or any other government agency. I would need to know how they came to their conclusion, and then I would use their information in addition to the information I already had. Just like Saddam can hide WMD, people can easily hide guns from the authorities. Many people have died after thinking that the authorities would protect and keep them from harm.

If , in the course of my trial it became clear you had charged me and ruined my life because of your ignorance, I would then file Civil charges against you to have you removed from a position that would allow you to do this to anyone else. I would also seek Damages far and above my own financial losses as a means of retribution for your failure to do your job properly.

If I caused you damages, it would be my obligation to make you whole again, including punitive damages against me. I have no problem with that, it is just.
