Dallas, I am somewhat confused by your statement
above.
Testimony is certainly evidence. It's also
called testimonial evidence.
Most of our understanding of history is based
on testimony. "I have been there." or "I (or
others) have seen ---- !"
If we deleted all the testimonial evidence from
Cranston's book on HPB, I don't think the book
would be very large!
Maybe in some cases there is "one up-manship"
but does that kind of label apply to HPB's testimony
and Olcott'testimony and Judge's testimony
about the Masters and the phenomena surrounding
the Masters?
