Very interesting.  It's hard to believe she doesn't believe.

As I was typing this I had an instant flash back on believability.  I 
think I've mentioned here recently that I used to work as a "roving 
interpreter" for the US Fish & Wildlife Service at the Loxahatchee 
National Wildlife Refuge in Boynton Beach Florida.  I told the story of 
a woman staring intently for a long time at a Great Blue Heron fishing. 
  Of course, he was standing stock still.  Eventually she saw me with my 
badge and FWS hat and came over to me and asked:  Why do you have 
plastic birds here?
