People who are afraid of what they know are a strange lot. You avoided the questions and pretend that without a scientific study, nothing is known.
eyewitness testimony is scientifically known to be notoriously flawed, but here you are defending it like it's the gospel. and we are talking about "ear" witness here, not even eyes
I just asked if you had any actual documented proof of what you thought, you provided none.
then you positioned yourself to be superior to me by having this skill and questioned my own skills, why, I don't know, how are my skills relevant to your skills?
I've heard many voices from many bodies I wouldn't expect, so to report in a police record that this voice belongs to this or that, no, I don't think I'd do that based on voice alone. I would hedge it greatly if at all.
and since you claim "People who are afraid of what they know are a strange lot." I'll claim people who are over confident with no evidence are dangerous.
also, this is just an interesting side tidbit provided by a comedian, Tom Segura, I saw on Netflix: there is a disorder that happens after one gets hit in the head, or some head trauma called foreign accent syndrome. Which is a speech disorder that causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker is perceived to speak with a “foreign” accent. So an American would start speaking with a French accent all the sudden, etc...
