Or maybe the pace of thought and exploration has outstripped the time needed to reflect on and digest what has been shared by people who KNOW the person who was asked about, and have had daily experience with the associated phenomenena over a long period of time. I run into that a lot.

I think humans tend to seek and then avoid understanding sometimes-- we ask someone for an answer, and then go right past their answer as it heads into what we feel as the unknown-- so we can keep on looking till we make our way back to what we ourselves really thought to begin with!
