I imagine few people are charged with serious crimes - armed robbery, extortion, aggravated assault - on the basis of false accusations. And yet we go to enormous effort and expense to gather and present evidence, hear from witnesses, weigh that evidence and testimony, and arrive at judgements.
Using the argument that false accusations are rare so we shouldn’t be skeptical of those accusations betrays a lack of understanding of the principles our criminal justice system operates under.
