I responded to the examples with what wsas
I was responding to the example with what was given and was supplied in a similar context (someone else making a claim). It wasn't my comparison and I was only responding to the evidence of people making a claim, and not attempting further investigation. If you are going to go that route, then I don't think that the claim it is raining outside, is comparable to the earth is round. One takes more work to verify than the other.

Although according to some, in the Witness Evidence thread I started, your observation that it is or is not raining my not be reliable.
It is so easily verified that your comparison is irrelevant.
