Well said. But it's a sad fact of Ufology that almost all testimony is
unfalsifiable, thus requiring the investigation into a persons credibility.
IMO credibility _should_ be irrelevant.

Take the recent weird claims about Stan Friedman that were posted here.
Friedman's credibility is unimportant, only the data should matter.
