In all cases, since these writers were well-respected and carried weight in the scholarly community, people accepted their suggestions as truth, which allowed the myth to grow.

Nakamichi's reputation for being the pioneer of audio cassettes no longer carried weight in the era of CDs. The lack of innovative digital technology meant Nakamichi was unable to successfully brand itself in the digital age. Further adding to its demise was a shrinking distribution channel as high-end audio boutiques were forced to close as they could not compete in a rapidly changing environment where shoppers gravitated towards electronic superstores. Ultimately, electronic consumers, who once were able to apply a significant portion of their outlay on audio-only components, needed to allocate more of their budget towards acquiring new video gear such as laser disc players, flat panel displays, DVD players, etc.

In 1208, Robert acquired the Honour of Eye (presumably as an administrator) through his service to the royal household. Closely associated with the earl, he was frequently mentioned in documents.. Robert was responsible for collecting the earl's monetary payment (known as a money fief) from the exchequer in 1210, and the earl was one of the men who vouched for Robert's ability to pay the 700 marks for his marriage to Gallena Dammartin. The king's half-brother, the Earl of Longsword's word carried weight; his decision to vouch for Robert implies that they were close. By 1210, Robert helped the king pay imprests (petty cash) and wages for troops for the campaign in Ireland.

Al-Hashimi in military uniform Al-Hashimi's refusal to join Faisal's army came despite promises of support he gave to Faisal in 1915.

The fact that both qualities had to overlap explains the practice of recommending one's friends and acquaintances for literary prizes and governmental posts. If women were able to make recommendations that carried weight for both political posts and literary prizes, it was because they were thought capable of evaluating and expressing the values integral to relation in the Republic of Letters. They could judge and produce not only grace and beauty but also friendship and virtue. By tracing the nature and extent of their participation in intellectual and political debates, it was possible to show the degree to which women's actions diverged not only from conservative gender models but also from their own formulations concerning women's proper social role.

He would identify houses of interest and obtain the necessary permissions from owners, before calling in Fox to undertake a detailed survey. In the Introduction to the 1994 reprint, Peter Smith, author of Houses of the Welsh Countryside, recorded Raglan's approach; "as we travelled from farmhouse to farmhouse, I realised that his was a name that carried weight and in Monmouthshire opened every door...status and personal charm carried the day and we followed in his wake". In the Introduction to Sub-Medieval Houses, the second volume of their history, Fox and Raglan record the genesis of the project.

As the daughter of a former King of France and one of the last living members of the senior branch of the House of Capet, the latter was staunchly French in her sympathies; besides which, Charles II had offended her by laying claim to lands in Champagne that had formed part of her sister Joan of France's dowry in marrying Odo IV and which were deemed now to pass to Joan's sister. These lands had derived from Joan I of Navarre, Countess of Champagne, grandmother of Margaret and Joan, and as the senior heir by primogeniture of Joan I, Charles was now laying claim to them. With this triple compact between the three heirs, Charles II was shut out: the support of a co-heir carried weight in deciding inheritance, and John II had the support of both, while Charles II had the support of neither. The nobility of the duchy, in the face of this, decided in favour of John II, who took immediate possession.
