Seriously - do you have a scrap, a shred, even a speck of evidence that any of the extraordinary claims made there are true?

It's just not practical to give every claim in the world serious consideration until "proven" wrong. The kooks, nutters, and charlatans of the world love to play that sort of game. They'd just as soon make any claim they like, no matter how extraordinary, and then leave the heavy lifting to the skeptics - it's "true" unless they "disprove" it.

The skeptics can very rarely "disprove" it to the satisfaction of the claimants, of course, and any serious effort to do so can turn into a fool's game. The claimants can continue to make up stuff with very little effort - easy when you don't have to prove anything - and the skeptics are expected to keep wading through it, which can be exhausting.

I just won't play that game much - if someone has extraordinary claims, then let's see the evidence!

By being skeptical, I guess I won't be the first one on my block to drive a 163 MPG car for cheap. That's just the price I'll pay for not being more open-minded.

If somebody less skeptical were to seize that opportunity, I'd appreciate it if he'd stop back here some time to let us know how it worked out. I won't be holding my breath.

When donkeys fly! Same BS was floating around after WWII. Fools were always saying some guy in South Dakota had a device that would allow a 39 Buick Century with dual carbs get 80mpg - but the fuel producers kept paying the guy big bucks to not produce it. Pure BS

What!? No way! He stole my secret! I should have double-bolted the safe I have buried under the house! It was the KGB working together with the Saudi's, I just know it! They just want you to THINK communism is over.

For only $795, I'm selling a bolt on conversion kit that is guaranteed to make your donkey fly. The "Pegasus Kit" was originally developed in 3027 B.C. in a small village outside of Troy. Unfortunately, this technology has been suppressed for the last 5000 years by a consortium of chariot manufacturers and falcon breeders... blah, blah, blah.
