In the Challenger mission, there was good reason, based on sound physical science, to suspect there was a problem. In this case, all we have is a floridly-written statement from a nameless, faceless individual, which paints a scenario regarded as technologically-implausible that, furthermore, misidentifies the ORCA system and, most-fatally, describes in some detail an alleged Rove plot that, even had it succeeded in every respect, wouldn't have flipped enough states to win the election.
To be honest, this conspiracy assertion reminds me of nothing do much as young-earth creationism. If someone were to post a thread asserting the OP never was really convinced if the truth of creationism until he or she saw how many "authoritarian" scientists were trying to " silence" it, and then realized it must therefore be true, don't you think such a thread would BR openly mocked? I see little difference in this case.
