Witness Evidence

[robvalue]

I suspect that the only witness testimony you are actually interested in raising the profile of here is that of an extraordinary nature. And the extraordinary nature is itself a reason to doubt testimony, either informally, or especially for formal situations such as history, science or in court. Not to say it is wrong, but to require further evidence as a matter of course.

Any testimony which even mentions something not comfirmed to exist or be possible should be met with the highest level of scepticism. The person is instantly deeming themselves an authority on identifying and correctly categorizing totally uncharted phenomena. No one has such authority. To believe them by default is to be gullible.

If I'm wrong, and you're just really interested in testimony in general, then carry on.
