All this is relevant only if the speaker himself heard Plony threaten .הזבּ וּנכרַאהֶשׁ ,ד"י ףיִעסבּ

someone else told him (11) what Plony said, he has no basis for
depending on the word of another person (and he may not believe
that gossip, even if the speaker has the same authority as two םייח םימ ראב
witnesses).
