Many arguments stem from laziness. It would only take a small nudge for the moon to start turning on its axis. Maybe a rock from outer space could be all that it needs. We only get to see one side of the moon from earth, and something is odd about that say some people. Rather than spend two minutes looking up the reason they spend twenty minutes discussing it with you. Gravity creates a bulge that locks it in place.
People insinuate that those that claimed to be the first to land on the moon, did not. It was a hoax. This implies that the astronauts were lying, the scientists were withholding the truth, the thousands of people supporting the mission were either being duped too or were in on the deception. I turn the tables on those that are calling honourable decent people into question. I question what they do, hint at the idea that they are not really who they say they are. I will cast doubt on their qualifications suggesting that they cheated in all their exams. If they run a business, I will propose that they are conning their customers. It doesn’t take long to find some aspect of their life that can be made to look highly dubious. Then I ask how they feel when being looked upon as a fraudster.
What if the holiday snaps taken on the moon were touched up, altered, or even recreated? Having spent a considerable sum on the travel, it is indeed tempting to present the expedition in the best light. It does not mean the trip did not take place.
It can be frowned upon to encourage children of school age to do shoe shinning by giving them your business when they ought to be in class. I was approached by a shoe shiner and relented. I enquired as to whether he had been to school that day. He said that he had been since early morning. He claims, and I have little reason to doubt him, that he works in the afternoons to get a little extra money. I set him a little maths test, basic arithmetic and sure enough using some charcoal on the back of his hands he answered the questions correctly. Considered judgements arise from finding out more. Maybe you could argue that the time would be better spent doing homework, but realities of being poor need to be taken into account. A good argument comes from thorough research. When new facts may come to light, they change the picture completely. Parts from an aeroplane were found 11 miles from a crash site. That is a huge distance and would indicate that the aeroplane broke up in the air. It was 11 miles by road, the driver proved it by filming the odometer going from zero to eleven. What you did not get to see is that they drove all the way around the lake. It was in fact, as the crow flies from point to point, only 1 mile away.
