RE: Witness Evidence

December 4, 2015 at 11:02 pm

(December 4, 2015 at 8:54 am)IATIA Wrote: Regardless of what some may think your goal is, it does not change the fact that eyewitness testimony is unreliable. Even if a witness is able to perfectly recall an event, there is no way to corroborate that without evidence that makes the eyewitness testimony moot.

One of the criticisms of Hume in this matter, is that he has to rely on testimony in order to criticize it. I think that you are going to run into the same issue. Why should I accept your testimony that testimony is unreliable?

And a further question directed to anyone.... What does it mean that testimony is unreliable and how do we apply that?
