I think whenever this happens, the most likely outcome is that the source simply doesn't know anything particularly specific either, but when asked, offers an opinion or is convinced (just like anyone) that a certain path is most likely.
When they tell someone that opinion, the recipient puts more stall by the opinion/information than they would normally. When they pass it on, the source becomes impeccable, the info more valid etc. The reality in almost every business deal is that only those signing the documents known what is really happening.
