Now that is ironic coming from you, the archetypal, creative manipulator of images on IIS, and that is a complement by the way
I have also used a lot of image processing techniques so I try to remain healthily skeptical about believing what I see on video.
I am also wary of the use of selective “irrefutable” data points to “prove” a story when there remain other major difficulties or obstacles within that story.
Generally, it seems we humans are trusting people as most of us live our lives being decent citizens who do not set out each day to manipulate people, win power over them, and tell lies to prove a point, etc. So generally, we assume others are the same as us. However, sometimes the people behind these big stories are skillful manipulators who wouldn’t bat an eyelid when they pull the wool over our eyes to achieve their own goals.
We can be too trusting and therefore gullible, such that we can be manipulated into believing an intricately constructed story, which may have several truths scattered amongst its bits and pieces, yet the overall story may itself be “incorrect” in that it may be a sub-set of the overall truth, an incorrect interpretation of the truth, a deliberate misrepresentation of the truth or just plain wrong.
