I agree. Then again, Shakespeare didn’t say “natural philosophy” and the evidence for Hamlet’s ghost is pretty strong. He’s listed in the playbill.

You don’t know how your parents reacted. You know how they remember reacting a decade later. I’m not calling them liars, but that’s a different situation.
