I don’t see how that follows. For example:

1. The Chicago Cubs play their home games in Wrigley Field.

2. The Sun rises in the East.

3. Clouds are made of water vapor.

4. Leprechauns are real.

If we verify that 1-3 are correct, does that lend credence to 4? It would seem to me that each claim needs to be assessed independently.
