But I do know that people do lie. My neighbor could be lying. I don't even know for sure he has a basement. His house could be built on a slab or piers for all I know. Would it still be rational to believe his claim?

Look, have fun moving the goalposts, but you're on your own with that. I stated the premises, you want to change them. Go ahead; when you would like to address what I actually said, I would be interested.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
