[Avodah] Anan Sahadei

[Joel Rich]

Anan sahadei (we testify) generally appears in the gemara as an ironclad
presumption that defines an event (eg if a lender says to a borrower not to
pay back unless there are witnesses, he won’t pay back without witnesses)
or an intent (eg a seller making aliya intended to sell only if he made
aliyah).

Is anyone aware of anything on whether these are rebuttable presumptions? A
function of time and place? Are we encouraged to be mvarer when we can?
