Older pages often rank well because they earned links, not because the claim is still current. I re-check when the claim involves price, version behavior, support policy, availability, or a button path that could move. For definitions or history, I may keep the older source with a narrow sentence. What signal makes you stop and re-check an old source before citing it in a summary?
