On the contrary, my faith in Elder Andersen's calling is based on long experience and multiple witnesses of the Spirit over years of listening to and heeding their counsel. Just because I don't initially treat each sentence from the prophet's mouth with doubt does not mean my faith is blind.
By your apparent definition, there is no such thing as faith at all. We believe only what we can verify.
