Frankly the extent to which some post modern ideas are being followed to day, simply amazes me. In the US, the police are going to take statements in the investigation, not just as a stab in the dark, to find other physical corroboration, but as actual evidence in determining the truth of the matter. Further the court may call a witness to testify to what they saw or heard. Is this different where ever you are at?
I'm also curious, because when having a discussion involving the definition of something. I often look up the definition just to ensure that I'm not thinking of some odd offshoot or distortion of the word. Did anyone else do this?
Nope, there's nothing wrong with witness evidence in some cases, given that the witness seems qualified to understand the thing being asked about, and no apparent ulterior motive in presenting his/her observations.
