Just saying, indirectly, that being right, for the wrong reasons, i.e. 
belief in it, rather than knowing the facts, isn't *that* huge of a 
problem, for the believer. They may be doing the right thing, for the 
wrong reason, but they don't "step off the plane, in mid-flight", unlike 
the twit that "believes" the exact opposite (such as believing that 
climate is fake).

Do not scoff. UFOs ARE REAL AND MOVE AMONGST US.

I have proof.  Indisputable simulated photographic evidence exists which
confirms that UFOs (the Uncultured Financially Obsessed) not only walk
unchallenged among the human population, but also control each and every one of
the shadowy clandestine societies that secretly run the world, including the
Illuminati, the Trilateral Commission and the British Dental Association.

OIC.  The problem is that being right for the wrong reasons reinforces 
superstitious beliefs and other cognitive errors.

either way, they could be either denying or acknowledging that 
unidentified flying objects were alien tech indeed.  From Russia.

  Don't worry. When the New World Order is established by the One World
Government under the supervision of the reptilians, all such disagreements
will become obsolete.

Read an interesting blog post by Jen McCreight last night, where she 
posed the question "why is it that we don't grant people who believe that 
airplanes fly because of fairies degrees in aeronautical engineering, but 
we grant people who don't believe in evolution degrees in 
microbiology?" (I'm paraphrasing here).

The "Puddingologists" don't get degrees in geology, either.

Funny, that. :)
