Now gladiators son said he saw gladiator rip a black hole apart with his bare hands. A statement.. Abhil asked to show a scan of gladiator actually doing it. Need I say more. This is relevant to this topic due to the fact of his position on proving something.
If you want to discuss whether an impressionable youth who adores his father is prone to exaggerate (or maybe even misunderstand) his feats when disclosing those to others, feel free to do so in another, appropriate thread.
Here, the only thing that matters is whether the alien was lying when he talked about what the chains were used for. If he was a dishonest salesman, trying to get ppl buy those chains, then sure there might be a motivation for him to lie. However, in that actual scenario there was no good reason to. Objective people can agree on this.
