&quot;Of course, that&#x27;s what THEY&#x27;d say!&quot;<p>It might be fun to laugh at conspiracy theories concerning aliens and reptiles, but in saying the above, conspiracy theorists do have a point, and there&#x27;s also a lesson that&#x27;s applicable in general, which I can summarise as:<p>Fact checking (or any kind of fact serving) is worth shit if it&#x27;s done by someone with (or which serves) interests counter to you.<p>For the same reason you shouldn&#x27;t hire a lawyer recommended to you by the person that you&#x27;re suing.

“USA TODAY could find no scientific evidence that it&#x27;s possible for reptiles or aliens to mask themselves as humans.”<p>So did they like... Search the literature?

&quot;Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that there is an alien’s face in Bezos&#x27; neck,&quot;<p>I think I&#x27;d be a little irritated to be one of the people whose money paid for this.

&quot;Nor a reptile.&quot; I&#x27;m doubtful.
