If testimony is the only "evidence" of something...then the specifics of what's contained in the claim simply are not in evidence. As so many examples have shown..even the simplest and most uncontroversial claim does not provide evidence for the accuracy of it;s own contents.
I claimed to eat a cheeseburger...but nothing in my claim will help you to establish whether or not I ate a cheeseburger - or even whether or not cheeseburgers -exist-.
Another claimed to have had a lunchdate with a man named John. Nothing in the claim helps to establish that such a lunchdate ever took place, that there is a man named john, or that the claimant knows a john, let alone had a lunchdate with john....or that they even eat lunch.........ever.
