I'd believe them both.
They have such different lives that their truth and perspectives would be polar opposites.

@SW-User What if you were asking for directions?

@TheGoodGuy I'd ask a 3rd person. If it matches one of the others, I'd go for that.

@SW-User Good thinking! But there's no one else around 😱 You only have these two guys - so which is it?
I don't mean to be mean 🤣 I'm just doing that science thing, with my clipboard and pen here, wearing a lab coat and glasses... 👀 I want to know how your mind works, to know which you would listen to and why 🙃☺️

@TheGoodGuy Sigh. I would now have to evaluate why each one of these people believes what they do. Then I go with what my gut resonates with the most.
Sorry, not such a black and white answer for me...to me their statuses are irrelevant.
