herlayprint: Cool Grinch Ole Miss Rebels Christmas shirt

One very accurate tip that something is a nut-case conspiracy theory and not true is that the person doing it is some nameless agency or just “The Government” and usually by some huge coindenetce it is the local government. (in you live in the US it is always the Cool Grinch Ole Miss Rebels Christmas shirt government, and if you’ve in China it is the Chinese government.) Really if there were such evidence what are the chances it would be NASA that found it? And then it would not be NASA but some people working for NASA as contractors who were actually hands on with the data. Finally when we do find things in data the signal is usually not so clear. People will look at it and argue, papers get published and reviewed. The last argument for not hiding facts is that there is a history. In the past there have been several possible discoveries of life and each one was quickly published. There were at least two cases where someone thought they had discovered life on Mars and this was quickly made public. After review it seemed later that the discoveries were not such clear signs of life but still, no one was even thinking of hiding this, they had a press conference to make the announcements.
