all we can do is go “huh, that’s weird”.
There's so much more you can do:
- Deny it ever happened
- Insult the socio-economic status of the witnesses
- Claim there was only one witness even when there were multiple
- Accuse them of taking hallucinogenics, even when they were with their family/at work in the middle of the day
- Confabulate new psychiatric disorders, like "sudden mass hallucination with no prior history"
- etc.
I have no reason to take your truth-claims seriously if you admit that they're not actually truth-claims.
