Yes, these equate to the same meaning... a) I trust what she said b) I doubt she is lying If you think about argumentation theory and draw argument diagram, both arguments would start in different places because both arguments ARE different. Once you start diagramming, it becomes evident that in both cases trust is required. If trust becomes the common element (point where the diagrams meet), then A=B because trust or the lack of doubt has to be above or below a certain threshold. Either way, the doubt is not great enough or the trust is great enough to draw the same conclusion. Neither conclusion is certain, but within a tolerance that they can't be significantly differentiated from one another. Side: Yes
