If you have a good attitude, people will probably be willing to share with you.
One suspects that a good attitude is to not ask to many questions.
RM, we know for a fact that we are all easily fooled; more so if we want a certain thing to be true. We also know for a fact that we don't always(in fact rarely do) remember things as they actually occured. In addtion, we know for a fact that people tend to exaggerate. On occasion some individuals lie.
As Schraf notes, when the kind of claims you are making are examined carefully they never stand up. The track record is such that the most reasonable conclusion is that if enough facts are available the story will not be as it first appears to be. It is only when there are not enough varifiable facts available that any question remains.
The above two paragraphs are the factual background that applies when we are to examine such claims. What conclusion would anyone draw? Even someone who is sure they have experienced such things when we all know for a fact that we are very easy to fool and be mistaken should approach this with a bit of care. You obviously have no idea about taking such care.
I have enjoyed a number of occasions when my own eyes have decieved me. It is an interesting feeling while your head scrambles to sort out what is going on. To jump to an early conclusion is a mistake.
