Except in this case there's no "single reliable data source". All of the useful data sources are limited in some way. You need a diverse array of data sources to fill in the gaps of each individual source.
Not to mention that one should always strive to avoid a single point of failure. A "single reliable data source" is - whaddya know - a single point of failure. If that data source stops being "reliable", then you're screwed. When you're screwed in a giant hunk of metal rolling down a highway at 65+ miles per hour, then the only system you have left is to pray to your god(s) for a good afterlife.
