That's incorrect. It's deductive reasoning. It the case with Corypheus. When you find him in DA2, when is he is in a confused stupor he makes his statement about the Golden City. He just reinterates it in DA:I.  With Solas it's about comparing what he says, with the lore found, and what actually happens. Part of the reason I like the DA universe so much is that unlike Mass Effect. The lore is consistent. When Merril meets Flemeth in DA, she refers to Elves as "The People".  The DA team clearly has an overall plan for the narrative. I wish the Mass Effect team would have had the same fore thought. 

No quite but I get you. My example of people taking their words as truths are mainly revolved around 2 incidents, Coryface breeching the Golden City and The Maker's existance, and then the destruction of Arlathan. Most accept that Coryface invaded the Golden City and started the Blight but when Coryface says the city was already Black and the seat (of the gods, plural) was empty, people then claim that this must be the case so The Maker doesn't exist. This is nonsense. Why would anyone think that? Because some corrupted human thought he saw certain things? Nice trust worth source there. The lore goes that the Golden City is the Maker's home, Old Gods talked Cory and his pals into invading it. Their punishment was the Blight. There is no reason to think otherwise, do people really think that Cory can comprehend the workings of The Maker, equivilent of God in Thedas? The Golden City could have turned black in a way Cory could never comprehend. Also, if the Golden City was already Black then why was that not visible before he entered? It's black now from the fade, it would have been black then too. Surely when the Old Gods said "Go into the Golden City." some of these Magisters would have thought "But it's not Golden."

Also, the Arlathan thing, I'm fine with believing the Elves fought themselves but claims Tevinter didn't destroy Arlathan is silly also. Tevinter were there too and unless Arlathan's destruction at the hands of someone else also happened at the oddly exact same moment that Tevinter was doing horrible blood magic to destory it, I'll take Tevinter's word on it.



Hmm, pie.
