> As a doctor, you’re probably going to become cynical after a while.

You should err on the side of caution and default to "they're probably not lying". Most of us can agree that applying the logic you're describing to the law would be wrong. Imagine that instead of having the presumption of innocence, we'd assume that certain types of people are probably guilty, so we'll punish them pre-emptively. This already happens, of course, because of racism, xenophobia etc... but we do agree that it's morally wrong and at least we're trying to fix it.
