Read the following introduction to a website titled The Truth about Tarantulas. What is the most logical conclusion you can make about the credibility of this source?

I hate tarantulas. They are very scary spiders. My cousin had one the size of a CD. I think it's their hair that makes them extra creepy. Tarantulas spend most of their time hiding when they are not hunting. Both of those habits make me nervous. Here are eight facts-one for each leg on the poisonous little monsters.

1. The author has created this website to inform, so the facts the website provides should be reliable.
2. The author hates tarantulas, so the information the website provides may be biased against them.
3. The author uses the word truth in the website title, so the information should be credible.
4. The author has encountered a tarantula before and thus knows more than the average person
