You can check up on the mortality of Celts by looking over the surnames on
tombstones at your local graveyard. If you really wanna be really, really
sure you can dig a few up and ask 'em about it.
As for our being smarter and better looking, well, some things in this
life are simply self evident.

No. But it does mean that they aren't always valid. I could, for example,
sit on the other side of your wall with an obsolete, 50 year old LIDA
machine (http://www.raven1.net/lida.htm), irradiate you with the proper
frequency and you would decide it was time to take a nap. Without the
proper sensors to tip you off, you would have no idea whatsoever that it
was my idea and not yours.
I don't know at what range Persinger's well known EM hallucination
technique works. That information seems to be classified. Nor can I tell
you exactly how realistic an artificial memory can be implanted by
hypnosis. I can tell you that sufficient doubts are raised by what we do
know about these kind of things that it would be foolish to draw any
conclusions solely on the basis of what people say, even sincere people
who are looking you right in the eye while they talk.
We must take care, as every first year law student is taught routinely,
not to give greater weight to eye witness accounts than we do forensic
evidence. Eye witness accounts are, in fact, the weakest link in the
chain. Perception and memory simply can't be trusted in even the best
circumstances. The way they teach this in law school is by way of a little
theater. At an unannounced moment two distinctive looking people in
distinctive, even slightly bizarre and eye catching dress, rush into the
class room and perform a very brief skit involving some simple props. Then
they leave. The students then write down what they saw and then compare
notes. A large and fairly predictable percent of the student/witnesses
will inevitably find that they were dead wrong about even such basics as
the race and gender of the actors, to say nothing of of their clothing,
the props or what they actually did.
Hence, we must corroborate any account, especially one of a paradigm
shaking event like abduction, with solid forensic evidence. Otherwise, we
stand little chance of ever really knowing what actually happened. All we
know is what somebody said happened.
The sad fact of life in our corrupt and racist court system is that the
government routinely hangs people, innocent and otherwise, on the basis of
less evidence than we have for the existence of Bigfoot or the Loch Ness
Monster. That's just the way it is. But I sure as hell wouldn't want one
to be me. Would you?
