Well I guess it’s nice I can now cite an equation for what always struck me as blatantly obvious. 😀
Well I guess it’s nice I can now cite an equation for what always struck me as blatantly obvious. 😀
“Using the equation, Dr Grimes calculated that hoax moon landings would have been revealed in 3 years 8 months, a climate change fraud in 3 years 9 months, a vaccination conspiracy in 3 years 2 months, and a suppressed Cancer cure in 3 years 3 months. In simple terms, any one of the four conspiracies would have been exposed long before now.”
Of course, those who assert these conspiracies are sure to point out that they have in fact been exposed. Good luck convincing them you haven’t just begged the question. (To be clear, I’m not advocating whether those conspiracies are true or not, just that the formula argument holds as much water as my underwear.)
On the flip side, one should review government documentation that becomes declassified after fifty years or upon presidential executive order to see how well the formula accounted for those secrets (at least some of them) remaining under cover far longer than three years plus change.
