You are not sure if they dont exist FYI. You just say so to feel saver.
But who knows?
There are enough countries that are trying to develop the supersoldier. enough scientists researching immortality. No one knows if magic exists. Why not some artefacts with power that bring out Zeds. Why not dark magic? Why not the apocalypse that the bible is talking about? why not a combat-virus some sick terrorists spread?
dude. If you look at it rationally - Zeds COULD be real. I dont say they already exist. But they could.
Dunno what it is called in english but somebody also released
"Milzbrand" Anthrax/splenic fever. With aids and ebola and shit like that around... who knows what the humans are capable of? Dude... somebody invented the nuke! so why shouldnt they be moronic enough to develop a Zombie-Virus?
To answer your question: Yes, I will tell that judge I thought it was a real Zed. Why? Because Zeds COULD be existing. Same as Aliens or God/Jah/Allah or Vampires/Werewolfs. Or the Grim or ghosts or whatever mystic existence you wanna name. I will not close my mind for such things, like atheistic shitheads do.
I dont like that "They dont exist, I dont have to think about it!"-behaviour. What if they exist? Starting to think when the proof for their existence is given may be too late. Sure, laugh about it, I dont care. ;)
Also. If you think about it, the moment that zombie-actor sees me with a weapon (it will not be a gun, there are not that many in frankonia/germany/middle-europe, so I would have to use something else like a pipe...) coming to him he will shit his pants. He will stop the acting and try to talk to me. Since I am not a moron I would hear him out and think twice about fucking him up after that.
