(cough) "Good reasearchers" dont dismiss perfectly reasonable explinations which do not agree with what they are trying to prove. Nor do they usually take dangerous mind altering drugs and combine areas of science which have nothing to do with each other.

This guy is on the far end of the bad researcher list.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

This just seems familiar ...

Oh yeah, 30 years ago I held similar beliefs about another person.

Wow. Not only has Kilik turned a single incident into "any" scientists, but he's made the not necessarily correct assumption that because someone treated Hancock unfairly, it somehow lends supports to any/all of Hancock's claims. It's undoubtable that someone, somewhere, has treated the Flat-Earthers unfairly, but that doesn't mean they're correct.

Furthermore,

Kilik bases (partly) his support of Hancock on secret knowledge.

Why not question something for a change?

Agreed. It is not a good comparison, at this time, for you.
