You said -- "Yup. lying is the only rational option here too."
Well..., you see..., this is where you're wrong.
Let's grant -- for the sake of discussion -- that it is *nonsense* that someone can *truly* have a premonition like that. You believe (if I've gotten this correct) that there is no such thing as premonitions.
Now, where you're wrong -- is not necessarily in your belief on "premonitions" -- but rather -- in whether someone else can *believe* in something that is wrong (i.e., wrong from your view or perspective).
Namely, there are other people who believe in premonitions. And *therefore* they act upon that belief.
In your mind -- since it's "not true" (i.e., the "existence of premonitions") -- they *have to be lying*.
You've failed to take into consideration that other people don't believe as you do -- and THEREFORE they *can act* on a belief that is different than yours -- and still *not be lying* -- even if what they act upon is not true.
So, that's where you're wrong -- regardless of whether premonitions are real or not.
And thusly, that's why I say I take their "testimony" as truthful. They have no real reason to lie about "concrete things" that happened to them, personally, before Flight 93 occured.

Psssssst I don't believe in ghosts or dead people talking to you either. I chalk this stuff up to the same - nonsense!
