That doesn't logically follow at all.
Are you not trying to educate yourself as best as possible, given the information available?
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.
