This reluctance is multiplied when the events described are at best improbable.

Not just when it is improbable but when people become personally vested in whether the factual basis of a particular claim is right or wrong. This comes up in everything from land disputes, to religious wars and cultural animosity. When people have a stake in the outcome of the "truth", the truth becomes highly mutable and resistant to critical analysis.
