I believed Koizumi, because he's so convincing. But, he's also a good actor.
He could be bullshitting us

Now now, would the guy in my avatar do that?

Seriously, I agree with what Yuki said as the conclusion to that whole set of scenes: There's no way for Kyon to be able to tell what the truth is, so there's no real way to fully trust any of the ITDE, Future-people, or Agency.

Spoiler:

Really all three have lied to Kyon in some way, so none of them can be trusted. Koizumi has lied about his personal theories and about the lone island. Yuki lied about being able to protect him from herself (if she could prevent him from being affected at the point of change, she could have told him beforehand, so saying she couldn't is a lie). Mikuru lies about taking him out in Melancholy just to complete a mission. If we can't trust Koizumi, we can't trust any of them as far as I'm concerned.

Personally, I think Koizumi's just being used as a plot-detailer since Yuki's meant to not be talkative and part of Mikuru's charm is her inability to know things that are commonplace in the "past." That's the only reason I trust him as much as I do with certain things, but not wholeheartedly, since he's proven himself to lie about the plot.
