Why do you think that matters? You might as well ask "what makes you trust your own perception when you verify scientific claims"? As it happens, literally every time you switch on a light you are, in fact, verifying multiple scientific theories. Not to mention interacting with your phone or computer to type your HN comments.

>what makes you trust your own perception when you verify scientific claims"

Because it is with my own perception that I sense the rest of the world with it. So that is all that one should care. Let me know if you don't get this. I ll elaborate..

One of main reasons the scientific method has been so successful is because it forces us to challenge our assumptions that our perceptions of the world are correct.
