Hubris? hardly.
Robert,
You’re giving these cydonuts, other lunar/Martian anomalists and hoaxers, and general ufools, WAY too much credit. From what I’ve seen over at MSNBC, we’ll be constantly ripping apart their faulty logic and specious reasoning without breaking an academic sweat. Trouble is, they won’t even realize what’s going on. It’ll be chiefly for our own benefit, our entertainment.
If you wanted to see REAL destruction, you should set up an exchange between some well known Moon landing hoaxers (the ones trying to make money off the scam) and Phil Plait, The Bad Astronomer, and watch him rip them to pieces.
