Showerthought: I argued with a guy online about the moon landing being faked for 3 hours straight.

I finally just asked him to explain the flag 'waving' in a vacuum, and his only answer was 'special effects,' which actually made him pause. Has anyone else found that asking for a single, clear mechanical detail is the fastest way to shut down a wild claim?

Remember that whole thing about the Titanic sub implosion? I got stuck reading a thread where someone insisted it was a hoax. I just asked how they faked the international coast guard search patterns. The silence was pretty loud. Sometimes you just need one question that needs a real, boring answer.

Did you ever get a real answer back, @julia286? Or did they just move on to the next wild idea?
