Testimony is Evidence

[RoadRunner79]

No if they are mistaken or lying, then it doesn't demonstrate the proposition well.

So how do we ascertain if they're mistaken or lying? If their testimony doesn't accord with our beliefs, or what?

Through corroborating or refuting evidence.

What did I reject other than their conclusions on testimony?

But ... but ... it's testimony! It's evidence!

Just because you reject it doesn't reduce its probative value -- especially when it can be backed up with, ahem, evidence. And let's face it: there is plenty of evidence that testimony is the weakest form of evidence in those cases where it has any value at all.

The question was... what evidence, do you think I am rejecting?

 Also I think you missed the point and misplaced your cognitive dissonance.

"I know you are, but what am I"? Dude, are you, like, five or something?

I think that you missed the point of the original statement by me as well. Do you not think, that using testimony and anecdotes as evidence against using testimony as evidence shows some cognitive dissonance? That the criticism of me rejecting the testimony (which I wasn't) when that is what they are arguing for, is at least a little bit inconsistent?

You still haven't commented on my testimonial....  Why are you ignoring evidence?!

Yes, I am ignoring it.   For one, it's a straw man.  Second, it's just being disrespectful, and not making an argument or giving reason for your position.
