Of the 100 people that know him, 98 of them say that they have known him for a while and they are almost positive that he is in fact 35 years old. The other two people say that they think he is actually older. They think he is around 40 years old. So out of the 100 people that know him, 98 people are pretty sure that the guy is 35. The other 2 people don't believe it and they think the guy is around 40.

Now let's say that this guy swears he is 35 but he refuses to show anyone his driver's license. In that case, I would be suspicious of his age.

The difference there, though, is that you don't look like a total fool running around screaming conspiracy theories when wondering if a guy is 35 or whether he's 40, and he doesn't make a fool of you by not showing his driver's license.

You're not embarrassed in the situation above because you don't wind up looking like a raving lunatic.

That outcome is the key difference between that scenario and the birther one. Otherwise, it was an excellent comparison!
