Honestly, I can't comment on her syllabus and neither can you. If she tried to explain it to you, you probably still wouldn't believe it.

The only point I'm trying to make is that it's not such a far-fetched idea as to warrant the skepticism that seemed to warrant the disrespect.

I usually don't defend people this much, and I should reiterate that of course it's all subjective. In an epistemological sense, no one can know for sure. But I personally believe her story and I don't like seeing grandmas get disrespected. Therefore I defend.
