Joshua is part of the research team that is working on the project for Samouel’s Greek Cuisine. The deadline for completing his part of the project, which involves collecting secondary data, is tomorrow morning. He has spent several hours searching for information and has found some conflicting information about demographic and economic trends in the neighborhood where Samouel’s restaurant is located. Two of the studies are from what appears to be reputable firms that process and sell studies based on government data. The third study, which has findings conflicting with the two nongovernmental studies, is from a government-sponsored website. It is late in the afternoon, and he wants to finish so he can meet his friends later that evening.

What should he do—ignore the information from the government website, or stay late and miss going out with his friends?
