I support this line of thinking. It's delusional to completely outsource the assessment of plausibility, it's a fast track to dictatorship. It's on each of us to assess how much faith to hold in such claims. Otherwise we fall into the trap of believing the powers whatever they do. - Look, that show trial in the USSR (or Nazi Germany, etc) has concluded with the confessions of guilt from all the accused. - But there was no solid evidence presented, there is quite some ground to believe they were forced to confess under tortures. - *If they needed* tortures for the confessions in the court, *then if their story isn't plausible, it seems likely that it'll get thrown out anyways.* - ???
