Heresay is a slippery slope.

I would be interested in knowing why those who voted yea did so,

Heresay is good when it's on our side and bad when it's against us -- which really means it's better to not allow it at all.

Hearsay is a vague term which might include written items of the "absent" party.

I believe some forms of "hearsay" might be valid proof, evidence of a person's wishes and intentions.

For example:
Diaries, docuemtns, journals, personal calendars, letters, photos, film, videos etc.

Hearsay evidence based on something said, offered by a 3rd person/party about another absent person is a big problem.

Hearsay is in reality repeating opinion or rumor.

It it also what's used against family, so we cannot condone it.
