franck, we went over this last month with chksht or whatever his name is. Conspiracy loons do not believe the burden of proof lies with them. They believe that because something is said/written down/posted on the internet that it is valid and must be DISproved - the exact opposite of the scientific method.
In order to prove a hypothesis, one must consider the Null Hypothesis - in this case, for the conspiracy nutjob, the null hypothesis is "The US landed on the moon". Now, the job is to prove the null hypothesis FALSE therby confirming the Hypothesis "the US did not land on the moon".
But, we all know that science, facts and logical thought have no place in conspiracy theory. It is entertainment for the simple mind - an escape from unflappable, boring reality... an inability to think objectively and seperate emotion from reason. Quite simply, conspiracy theory is romantic.. it satiates fundamental human desires.
