Having to repeatedly preform tests actually shows lack of confidence.
- Maybe that person's body language was very sincere.
- Maybe that person's claims were relatively mundane and easy to accept
- Maybe that person was in a position of respect (such as a toddler feels for parents)
The level of confidence you feel in a claim is an involuntary response to your reasons IMO.
You can't choose to have confidence.
Furthermore, your actions are an involuntary response to your confidence in various claims that might potentially affect the outcome of your actions.
