I note the Mormons consider evidence of the gold plates to include people who claimed to have seen them in dreams. That some of these folks later apostatized and were excommunicated from the faith, however, does not lessen in the eyes of the Mormons the veracity of their testimony.

As for the tree trimming accident, I've been in a similar situation, trying to ascertain what went wrong with some machinery and resulted in people being injured. I figured out the issue, reported the findings to the poohbahs of the organization, gave them a few days to fix the hardware, and when seeing they weren't to excited about the work involved, I went and bought a $200 DeWalt cordless impact tool, and fixed the damn thing myself. This was in 2012, and the problem has not recurred.
I wasn't thanked or acknowledged in any way.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
