Eye-witness: helps bring the situation to us, allows us to feel it, paints a picture and draws us in. One makes us think and One makes us care. Credibility for a cause comes from both. No one is expecting you to do the science - they are expecting you to share the story. By telling your story - you make it live for your audience. It's only when something resonates - that people act. The big difference between testimonials that make people think and those that make them care research suggests that it is the later that motivates people to take action.
