Or if a woman accuses a guy of raping/sexually assaulting her you know odds are it's true (probably 90%+ also). Are there mentally ill kids and women who lie in these circumstances? Sure but that's rare. Same idea when it comes to playing poker. If I just sit down and I see a guy voluntarily play 3 straight hands with no showdown I'm gonna assume he's too loose until proven otherwise. And if a guy is accused of rape/sexual assault/molesting the smart money is gonna assume he's guilty until proven otherwise.
