What you said makes sense. It doesn’t surprise me that I missed that interpretation of the quote, however. The concept of taking evidence from others’ stated beliefs is better described by a network, not a single chain. Surely there are also different networks for each domain of claimed-knowledge.
I meant ‘”directly knowing the truth is hard”’, as the quote intended. Still, mea culpa.
