REMT, kedarko beqodesh, gently corrected me in private.

The eidim testifying need to have witnessed hasra'ah, and didn't have to
have given it themselves.

Which means that the tail of my post applies to sin/crim as well, not
only dinei mamunus (as long as it's not eid echad ne'eman be'isusim).
I think what I said about confabulation vs indepent derishah vechaqira of
each eid separately, and (more importantly) my argument for not assuming
that the neemanus accorded eidus isn't because we necessarily consider
it the least fallible both still stand.
