The thing is LFC, if you believe these women's testimony just cause they say so, then you'd be wrong. In this case there are a whole bunch of other factors supporting their case and that's why I believe them. An unverified testimony is nothing more than a claim.
Yes, this exactly what I'm trying to say (and apparently doing a poor job of it, lol). Context matters. Facts about the people involved matter. Every detail helps paint a little bit of the big picture so that we can draw reasonable conclusions. But, I think I've asserted otherwise in the past. I just want to make sure I'm being intellectually honest on the subject. Perhaps I'm making a mistake in thinking that an accusation of rape is more than mundane. I suppose rape is mundane in that we know it happens, and it happens all the time.
