She seems enamored of the No True Scotsman fallacy. She’s got plenty of company eg AB Stoddard.

‘Why would someone lie?’ is not proof.

‘Why would someone lie?’ is not proof.<<

You are right of course, but it does lead to the court process of impeachment of the witness, explaining exactly why would they lie. That is why last minute accusations are so pernicious, no time to examine that question. Aspects like why would they cleanse their social media before going public? Why was the one woman at the scene described as a man? Did she really write the letter or did her lawyer do it? Why the salacious parts with clarity but the rest of the details murky? What happened in 2012, many years later, to make the story come out? Those kind of questions.

Proof is tough, and time only erodes evidence, especially eyewitness and victim.
