We could discuss ways in which testimony may be contaminated, limits of testimony, or other aspects in more detail.i would probably stop there though, and let you to re-assess things. Ideologies don't just change instantly. However I haven't even been really making an argument for testimony.
Hopefully at least, people would quit saying testimony is not evidence, and we wouldn't need to go back to this.
