Answer:

Just because someone makes a claim does not make it factual.

Step-by-step explanation:

I can say I'm the president of the United States.

Would you believe me?

no? why not?

What if I told you I'm the president and showed you my presidential ID, oval office, and secret service bodyguards?

You would probably have better grounds to believe that I'm the president of the united states.
