An analogy based on a straw-man representation of what Jar said. If someone's knowledge can be verified in some way then it has greater worth. The validity of said knowledge increases with the number of verfications.
If anyone's knowledge is of "zero worth" is it your own because you are utterly unable to provide any means of verification to others.
A defendant is standing trial for a crime in court. Ten eyewitnesses say the defendant didn't do it, whereas one lone man says he "knows" the defendant did it despite the fact he wasn't present.
Who would you expect the judge to listen to?
