Neither of the above. See Caṅkī Suttaṃ from paragraph 430 onwards.
Caṅkī Sutta wrote:430. “In that way, good Gotama, there is the protection of the truth; in that way there is guarding of the truth; in that way we accept that the truth is protected. How then, good Gotama, is there awakening to the truth? We ask the good Gotama about awakening to the truth.”

The kalama sutta present both as insufficient reasons to follow a teaching.
"So, as I said, Kalamas: 'Don't go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, "This contemplative is our teacher." When you know for yourselves that, "These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness" — then you should enter & remain in them.' Thus was it said. And in reference to this was it said.
