They must be proven true beyond a reasonable doubt to get a person in a funny robe to put them in jail.
Normal humans are not required to prove anything in order to think them.

- whimsicalism 5y agodecent humans can have a lower standard for thinking someone did a crime than the criminal justice system does. this is true whether you believe or disbelieve a rape claim, because if you disbelieve it you typically must believe the corrolary that the victim was committing the crime of lying to the police.
