Believe all Victims (or survivors) — but, first, determine if they actually are victims or survivors of something. I guess the qualifiers spoil a ‘good’ slogan.

I am just naturally skeptical I guess but I just don't believe everything people tell me even if they actually are a victim or survivor.

And the longer it has been since the incident happened the less I am inclined to believe everything they say.

There were a couple of experiments run where they had a group of people go through an experience, asked them leading questions during the interview, let them talk to each other then did a follow up interview. Their stories changed in significant ways and it did not match up with what was on the tape. Now I am not saying that they are lying. I am saying that over time our memories shift as they are influenced by other people and events.

None of those people were actually lying. They believed that they were telling the truth.

Except that they were not.
