It is amazing how a smart and obviously compassionate person could be so fooled. She must have known that FC had critics. She says in the article (paraphrasing): why would I need to test whether his communication was authentic? Yes why indeed! Some research shows that smart people are the most easily fooled (by all kinds of weird beliefs) because they are arrogant about their abilities to detect foolishness. I wonder how the judge will handle sentencing.
