Close, but no cigar: you throw a suspected witch in the water. If he/she floats, it's witchcraft*, so it's a witch. So then you burn them. But if he/she sank, well, then he/she wasn't a witch, was he/she?
Clear as a bell, I should think. Logic you can't fault, can you?
*In the middle ages nobody could swim. Everybody drowned once in the water. Especially since they were fully dressed. With layers of heavy, water logging clothing.
The lesson here is of course that when you're demonized, you die! Either way! Whether you truly are a PITA or falsely accused, a.k.a. 'character assasination'! It doesn't matter, you die!
