In a case discussed by Graham (2000b), a testifier (T) cannot distinguish between two twins (A and B), but the hearer (S) knows that twin B could not have knocked over a vase; therefore, when the testifier claims twin A knocked over the vase, the hearer's belief is sustained by the hearer's independent knowledge that twin B did not do it.
