   The original email which you referenced included that the witness should be
reliable not any lier or whatever.
   The fact that every thing in the universe is controlled precisely does not 
imply that we know how it is controlled and does not prove that our 
calculations are correct. If those calculations contradict the observation 
then They are WRONG!
   In your reference to Sahaba in Sirya and Medina, those Sahaba have not got 
the means of communications that we have now, so they can not be blamed for 
something they do not and can not know.
   The analogy which supported your arguement, nobody bases anything on it 
and it is obvious that it is wrong, no one can break fast at noon because it 
is sunset somewhere. This is obvious, but the beginning of months should 
account for the few-hour difference but not get different months in different 
countries.
