Is the statement "Claims demand evidence" always true?

RE: Is the statement "Claims demand evidence" always true?
If you came into the office around noon and said it was a sunshiny day, I'd take the claim at face value and leave my umbrella on the cloak rack when I leave fro lunch hour.

If you instead come into the office around noon and said Elvis Presley was fucking Richard Nixon's ass in the handicap parking space right up by the building, well, I'm gonna need a cell phone picture at least, and a video with sound wouldn't be asking too much, in my opinion.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
