How do you verify a fact? Do you travel to the location and interview the locals? Or read scientific papers in various fields, including their own references, to validate summaries published by news sources? At some point you need to just trust that someone is telling the truth.

I’m pretty sure what the what your parent comment means is they verify that key facts outputted by the summary match what’s written in the source.

It may help to set penalties for someone not telling the truth.
