Yeah, sure, if everything I know about the moon is based on information from one guy.
It's the same reason the 9/11 conspiracists are so fulla crap.
(The CIA blew up the Twin Towers) You start with a theory based one observation, seems simple enough, but to be true, you have to extrapolate out a galactically complex plot involving thousands of willing evil minions in a dozen perfectly timed subplots, and not one of whom would ever say a word about it.
What we know of the moon is not simply some story related to us by the "official moon guy", it's the culmination of study by thousands of scientists and observers, not all of whom could have been charlatans and con artists, and any one of whom would have been thrilled to gain fame by proving the others wrong.
A mind can be skeptical, but within logical reason... beyond that, they're paranoid.

I still see it, and I know what makes physical sense to me, so when I hear competing explanations of what I see, I go with what makes sense, and it's surely not the Mad Revisionist.
