How is everyone today?

What if he said no?

There is both positive and negative proofs (i.e. both evidence that proves a negative as well as cancels out the positive claims) about this.

On the one hand, as I said, there is a lack of due process about this. It’s expected as per cause-and-effect this would lead to more false flags, though anyone who could say a thing or two about it is hands-off. It has been noticed across the board with high profile figures. To the point where people could turn it into the prosecution equivalent of a “gotcha question”, and that they have. But in the long run, nobody cares.

The number of people recanting accusations has risen. The number of alibis has risen. So on and so on. This is all legal procedure outside of due process, almost as if there’s a vacuum where it should be. Something I’ve noticed that I brought up in a relevant conversation about this is that you could train dogs to smell when someone is a potential suspect/victim (perhaps a first-hand observation for me). Easy, right? It’s almost as if the prosecution knows this would be a gamechanger. They instead stick to lie detectors, the same ones that have been around since you were booting up your very first Windows 95 for the first time.

Neither, the opposite in fact. People today are more willing to accept false flags as a part of the process than they had been before, and this is what has increased the most (between that and real cases having increased). There are real cases and they deserve to be dealt with using cold hard discipline, but the acceptance of a lack of due process surrounding the particular genre of crime has made it so that there are more falsely accused individuals currently serving time than there are those who truly did do as they were accused of. The sphere of American influence is a culture with a perpetual side effect of sparking a thirst for witch hunts (first with actual witches, then the red scare, the LGBT, terrorists, etc.), so sadly this isn’t out of place as a consideration either.
