Of course, but questionable or unsubstantiated reports don’t suddenly become 100% credible simply because they are the only information available.
Nobody thinks they become 100% credible.
The person I responded to literally said that they would take the report “at face value”, which means you accept it unquestioningly.
You accepting it doesn’t imply that the source is credible; you just don’t have any alternative.
