This isn't a post about crazy beliefs. People can say very mundane things and someone else won't believe them
That's true. I hadn't thought of it that way, as most of the comments I've seen showing disbelief about something in this community where in response to some statement about identity or religion (like "James is a minor character from X book" or "We believe that physical reality is just an illusion of the mind").
The more mundane a claim it is, the more likely I am to think it's true, even if it seems unlikely. Most people when they lie at least try to make up something more interesting than mundane...
