So therefore this rando on the OP must be telling the truth?
Like, why is it even an either/or thing in your mind? Why is the possibility that BOTH the government AND the OP is lying a closed-off option? Hell, let's throw me into it if you want - couldn't all three of us, the government AND me AND the OP, possibly all be lying? By what logic does a person get a pass just because the world must eventually run out of liars at some point? Never will I understand how that works in your head.
