In Hoaxland, the moon is a hollow spacecraft filled with Nazis.

And reptilians.

In Hoaxland, people who claim to have Aeronautique degrees can actually read schematics.

In Hoaxland, the evil government has an unlimited number of people employed in creating and monitoring the hoax - and yet, you never see them recruiting at job fairs.

In Hoaxland, watching a YouTube video means you are as knowledgeable and experienced as someone with multiple degrees and years of industry experience.

No, it means you are more knowledgeable and experienced.

Let me fix that for you:

In Hoaxland, watching a YouTube video means you are much more as knowledgeable and experienced  than as someone with multiple degrees and years of industry experience. In fact, anyone like that who disagrees with you can be disregarded as a proven paid shill.

True, because people with qualifications are simply "brainwashed" and "closed-minded" in Hoaxland.

Then again, immediately after a Truther finished bashing me over the head with dismissals of NIST and other civil engineering experts as liars, he began appealing to the authority of his "experts" who claim the WTC towers were brought down by explosives.

He seemed completely oblivious to his double standard.

In Hoaxland, "common sense" always applies, no matter how out-of-common-experience the event.

In Hoaxland, third hand reports attributed to "trained observers" are preferred to first hand observations by people with accredited training.

In Hoaxland, anonymous stories that get multiple facts wrong and are laughable to anyone actually familiar with the topic are accepted without question.

In Hoaxland, you can't prove the landings on the Moon happened, unless you can.
