nuggets of truth

Kernels of accuracy

Small pieces of genuine insight or accurate information embedded within a larger context that may be flawed, exaggerated, or otherwise unreliable.

The phrase acknowledges partial validity: His conspiracy theories are mostly nonsense, but there are nuggets of truth in there.

Like gold nuggets worth extracting from surrounding ore, these fragments reward careful sifting.
