My opinion, yes. But if someone said they had invented anit-gravity, then showed you a bowling ball "floating" but with a sheet covering any potential support, you'd be pretty suspicious. And if they refused to remove the sheet, and had previously been convicted of fraud, you'd probably be extremely suspicious. But it would still only be your opinion until the sheet was removed.
But what if your dad had a closely-related sheet company that you regularly transacted with but isn’t public because he was barred for life from giving public demonstrations but owned tons of shares in your demonstration and sold millions of dollars worth on a daily basis?
Surely then it would ease your suspicions…
