I am reading the novel of brothers Arkadi and Boris Strugatzki "Monday,starts Saturday" and the main character ask himself if we believe more extraordinary things because of scientific discoveries.
If you are telling a person in 1940 that in 1968 someone will walk on the moon, you were considered a nut-case.
But now we foresee in near future, a flourishing space tourism industry.
Also the Internet has aggregated all kind of unbelievable strange fact from all over the world.
Because we know that some things are possible we don't analyze too much the tricked photos and video's, and video of a alien autopsy becomes news.
Also because existence of tricked photo's we don't believe anymore in Moon landing, and it is hard to prove the truth.
It is the same with the Trump's inauguration photos.
How can you prove that picture is true?
You can't, because every falsehood has a hint of truth, as a yogurt with fruits has some pieces of fruit and a tonne of food additives.
A photo alone is not enough to be used as evidence in court, it must be correlated with other information sources or the picture must be proved forged.
