Re:

Never believe a thing a pilot tells you
Story told at our clubhouse, but ILAFFT:

Student and our CFI flying 2000' on QNH, 3 miles south of Borton (position obfuscated to protect the guilty)

hear a transmission: "G-ABCD, Cessna 172, 3000' 2 miles south of Borton"
CFI to Student: "What do you know from that message"
Student: "Well the Cessna is 1000' above and about a mile away from us"
CFI: "Nope, what you know is that their radio is capable of transmitting, and they are currently within range of our receiver"
