I agree... but doesn't the original gloss kind of have the
same problem? I'd interpret it pretty much in the same way
as "seeing is believing". |

" Seeing is believing. It is hard to believe something you have not seen. (Implies that you will not believe the thing under discussion until you have actually seen it.)"

i don't think "seeing is believing" is right, since--as daijirin suggests--it's used after you've seen something (and suggests that you would have been ~~wrong~~ to take what you heard at face value), whereas we would use "seeing is believing" in english to suggest that now that you have seen what you heard, you believe it |
