Whether I trust the motives and whatnot of the Others doesn't have a lot to do with my suspension of disbelief.
Well, we've established that The Others are a pack of dirty liars and you don't trust them as far as you can throw them. I certainly don't. Ergo, the fact that one of The Others says something you have trouble believing doesn't impact on your suspension of disbelief, because Juliet may well not know anything more than Jack does about Sarah right now, but she's a dirty liar and so her statements can be pretty much discarded if they're insane or you think them to be false.

(And you'll believe that there are polar bears and large clouds of violent black smoke, but not that The Others can contact the outside world and do a little investigation? Because I know which threatens MY suspension of disbelief more.)
