Did Popular Mechanics really have an open mind regarding the evidence?
Yes. Conspiracy theorists make a large number of claims that would have very troubling implications, if true. Our mission was to research those claims. If we found even a grain of truth behind any of them, it would have been a major story, which we wouldn’t have hesitated to publish. On the other hand, if the claims turned out to be based on falsehoods, that too would be important information to convey to our readers.
