In the lab, in court, or in debate, do better. It's not hard if you're telling the truth.
Sure, it passes, doesn't mean it's being given honestly or recalled accurately. That's the unfortunate nature of it. The fact that it's usually of little to no consequence and has such low stakes makes that everyday chit-chat fodder matter very little. When the stakes are higher, like betting on whether you have a soul and whether that soul is going to burn for eternity, it fucking matters A LOT.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
