In a world of photoshop, special effects and the internet, that is.
When a picture is blurry, out of focus, just out of shot or whatever its deemed "too convenient...why are they never clear normal photos? It could be anything!"
But whenever a picture is sharp, clear and in focus its deemed "too good to be true. It's obviously been photoshopped" and dismissed out of hand. ("Oh they've done a good job, I'll give them that, but clearly a fake")
So if a ghost wandered into your living room and sat down for tea, or the borg mothership stopped over your house and asked for directions to the nearest motorway services, how on earth would you prove it?
I worry about these things. Just in case.
