@NitroDubs @DrBtc Its the whole "this powerful guy is actually just stupid" thing - my assumption is always that they just have goals that I don't know, or somehow have a very bad source of knowledge; but the latter is still a conceit - why would I, a nobody, have better knowledge than them?

Until substantial proof has accumulated, the irony is, the NYT "look honey I found something all the experts missed" does hold; but it's something you should hold yourself too - not others.
