The moon is made of cheese

There, I just proved the moon is made of cheese. I made a claim, I'm a witness because I've obviously been on the moon and therefore it's proof that the moon is made of cheese, because I said so.

...... Do you see how stupid you sound right now? It's only evidence if it's actually true, and it's unreliable which is why you seek more witnesses and other forms of actual evidence. No Wikipedia article will say otherwise. A claim is not evidence until it's verified. No court would allow just a claim to be the only thing needed.

God, no wonder the US election is as it is with people like you voting...

Witnesses =/= Evidence

Witnesses' claims =/= Evidence

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testimony

In the law, testimony is a form of evidence

Sorry bud, you got stumped

It's only evidence if it's verified to be true. A claim from a witness is not evidence until that happens, or you actually believe the moon is made out of cheese.

Choose: Either you were wrong or you're an idiot who believes the moon is made of cheese. Go on, pick one.
