Life experience shows that lots of people can believe something happened when it didn't or that they saw something when they didn't. Furthermore in that time period they weren't in ours where it's more black and white. Now we see this as either confirmation or not of LDS claims. To them, the experience could have yielded a greater variety of possibilities, like ones own personal spiritual sensitivity and definitely not necessarily Joseph Smith's authority
