You gullible people are funny to me. You swallow, without evidence, any news story you hear.
I don't think the pirate guy is saying this kid is a phoney. What he's saying is that he and I need more evidence before we will whole-heartedly believe all the claims in the story.
The degree to which a story warms the heart has nothing to do with the degree to which it is true.
Being a skeptic doesn't mean that one discounts new claims or events, it means you don't come to conclusions based on anecdotes and news stories.

But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!
