Okay, a friend of mine just raised a really good point. If you believe we're all paid by NASA to say these things, why don't you try outbidding?
I think this accusation simply underestimates the sheer power of Confirmation Bias, which tends to make us more dumb.
PNAs (Pro-NASA-Advocates) - cannot understand how a smart person can doubt the Moon Landing.
and MLD (ML Deniers) cannot understand how any smart person could BELIEVE we landed humans on the moon.
And so MLD's mistakenly just assume, "you PNAs must be doing this on purpose; you KNOW you're wrong, so you must be paid."
It's common. Similarly, many Christians accuse Atheists like this -- "You know you're wrong; you know there is a God, but you simply want to sin more." as many Christians simply can't see how anyone else "doesn't see God the way they do."
