To be a doppleganger would mean I agree with all of Barry's opinions.
I don't know to what extent Barry's believes that NASA wanted to keep the knowledge of life on Mars from the public, but I think a more likely scenario is that the reluctance for scientists to give the life hypothesis more credance is because of the natural conservatism of most scientists.
However, I should say I was impressed by the chapter in the book that described Levin's inability to get NASA's permission to place an improved version of his life detection experiment on the (unsuccessful) Russion Mars mission. To me that is saying NASA believed there was a legitimate possibility that Levin did in fact discover life on Mars, not that it was "virtually" impossible as sometimes said.
