Of course we as rational people think that it's up to him to prove hsi theories, not up to us to disprove them. However, is this really how the "rest of the world" will view it? I think that most of them will--if they don't hear a resounding chorus of contrary fact from the exploratory community--either give credence to Corsi and his ilk because it's what they want to believe or--even more likely--simply shrug their shoulders and chalk it up to another scientific dispute that has no bearing on their private lives. That's the issue I am trying to broach. I don't care one whit what Corsi cares; he's only one man. I care how many people he manages to drag down with him because THEIR collective belief/inaction may have a profound effect on me.
