How would we know? Asking experts and spotting tricks, sentence 5

But checking isn't the same as doubting everything: the vet's poster about grapes and dogs is TRUE, and an expert in the right field is usually worth trusting.

Who acts: poster, expert, vet · What happens: check, not be, doubt, be, trust, post · To what, where: everything
