DESCRIPTION:David Schum gave in his book The Evidential Foundations of Pro
 babilistic  Reasoning an analysis of testimony that can be formalized by a
  Bayes net whose  nodes represent the hypothesis of interest\, the basic a
 ttributes of the  credibility of human witnesses (observational accuracy\,
  objectivity and  veracity) and the ancillary evidence bearing upon those 
 attributes. It will be  shown as\, given some plausible hypotheses\, the n
 et can provide a new answer to a  classical riddle in the literature about
  evidential probabilistic reasoning\, the  so-called &ldquo\;blue bus prob
 lem&rdquo\;.
