Tycker din artikel sammanfattar det ganska bra på slutet:
"After all, fascinating though it is, it's just a story. There's no proof."
Jag kan självklart inte motbevisa det som Haut påstås ha sagt, men artikeln nämner Glenn Dennis, vars osammanhängande vitnessmål diskuteras i artikeln jag länkade till i förra inlägget. Det faktum att författaren till din artikel behandlar honom som ett trovärdigt vittne säger rätt mycket om hur pass trovärdig artikeln i sig är.
Brian Dunning, pseudosceptic ( patologisk skepsis ) och ateist.
Detta beskriver Brian Dunning av Skeptoid i en nötkärna.
"The difference between pseudoscepticism and scepticism appear in the conduct of an individual's actions. Among the indications of pseudosceptical ( Brian Dunning ) actions are:
1.Resorting to various logical fallacies (usually in an attack against those disputing a theory).
2.The assumption of facts (such as, stating theories determine phenomena).
3.The obfuscation of facts.
4.The use of attractive or neutral euphemisms to disguise unpleasant facts concerning their own positions.
5.Insisting that fundamental framework and theory of science hardly change.
6.Unwavering belief that science is a consensus and run on majority rule.
7.Maintaining a stance of hostility and intolerance.
8.Instituting hurdles against new theories by "moving the goalposts".
9.Ignoring intellectual suppression of unorthodox theories.
10.Judging a theory or phenomena without investigation and insisting on ignoring the details thereafter."
Ja du Grohl, vad ska man säger.
