Hehe yeah, 'believable' should never be the bar for whether something is the truth. The truth is occasionally unbelievable. Verification is a much better bar... and generally the bar everyone else uses. It's tough, cuz it means you have to put effort in, like... "do a job" kind of effort.

When something is unbelievable the verification bar it higher.
