Bad application of a good Scripture.

Why? Tell me why? You keep making assertions and then when I asked for why you just make another assertion in it's place.

You asked one (1) question. You disagree with my answer. So be it.
I didn't denounce skepticism, or suggest it should never be exercised publicly. My salient point was that NO HARM would come from first seeking private corroboration.
If the accusations are false, the accuser should (ideally) be subjected to the same consequences as the accused would be if they were true.
If the accusations have merit, the victim may have been needlessly traumatized just because someone insists on shooting first and asking questions later.
No Scripture proscribes the kind of caution I have advocated.
