Jack,
This is a deliberate attempt to obfuscate the argument and make it difficult to follow. I am
told that this is Burton's tactic when his side is losing an argument: submerge it or bury it!
I am stunned by the blatancy of the abuse of position he is demonstrating here. The Greer
argument about the details of the films seems to be entirely beside the point. There are so
many similarities that, if fakery of this degree of similarity is possible, as Greer now claims,
then the faking of the moon landings themselves must have been a piece of cake! So even
if he is right (about the details), he is wrong (about the hoax itself). And if Adam Stewart didn't
do it, obviously someone else did! This is an excellent example of focusing on the trees and
missing the forest. The striking similarities between the "rehearsal" footage and the footage
that was broadcast demonstrates that faking the moon landing would not have been difficult
and, to hear Greer tell it, not all that expensive, too boot! This latest "spoof" footage appears
to be a desperate gambit to take in the unwary. It is rubbish. Again, all this proves too much!

Why have these two threads been merged? This is in violation of the agreement to keep them
separate. This is a gross abuse of Burton's immoderate moderation! I object and ask that
the two threads be UNMERGED!
I have been working on a new study for Jim which he asked me to post in the debate thread.
In it, I acknowledge a flaw in a previous study which caused me to re-examine it and I found
evidence in shadows pointing to three or more lighting sources.
This merged thread abandons the debate (which Burton was losing), and makes it an
incoherent mess. I will not post this new study until the debate thread is reinstated according
to the original agreement.
I ask other moderators to OVERRULE Burton's rash action, and reinstate the debate as
a dedicated thread.

Dr. Jim.... you've taken them ALL to the cleaners -- it's clear, Burton and Co. need fumigation. Troll fumigation comes to mind...
