This is true. The practical application of this, though, is that it will be virtually impossible to charge a man for rape or sexual assault. Even if semen is found inside a woman's body, he says, "Well, she said yes," and then it's 1:1 hearsay.
There's another case: that of political corruption. When the powers that be deliberately work to cover up evidence, then what is to be done when the occasional whistle-blower has something to say about the conduct of, say, Trump?
