Neil deGrasse Tyson on why eyewitness testimony is one of the very worst forms of evidence. I have some good friends who believe in things like homeopathy and divining rods because of their personal experience. This might help them understand why, although I respect their intelligence, I do not find their personal testimony on these things compelling in the least. We are very easily fooled and we easily fool ourselves. That is why personal testimony appears to support things like homeopathy and water dowsing but well-designed scientific studies do not. ...and, yeah, UFOs...
