This is one thing that's quite backwards about
our society. "I saw it
with my own friggin' eyes" is discounted as "not necessarily true or
reliable".
Well, actually, people's evidence can be very unrliable, either
deliberately or innocently. So, yes, there is no reason why anyone should
believe anythign I say. But equally, I do believe what I observe
(probably incorrectly in some cases), at least until I've got further
relaiable evidence (not just 'I am telling you') to modify it.
