Although I do like your answer, it does delve into tangents a bit.
You go more into the fact that you distinguish fact from fantasy, but you never really explain how. You talk about the wealth of knowledge you have at your disposal to make an informed decision, but don't elaborate on exactly how that is done. I didn't ask you anything of certainty, nor did I imply that I held all the answers, I merely asked what method you use to determine and evaluate phenomena in reality.
I'll give you an example:
If I told you you are the indebted to a great celestial leprechaun for subconsciously stealing his invisible gold, by what standard would you assess the validity of that statement?
