21. Every time I come here I see more questions raised and get more
convinced that anyone who does not want those questions raised is incapable of a civil explanation for why the question does not need to be raised or can be answered in favor of the standard explanation.

It's always:
1 - you're not expert enough to understand it all at once, therefore you are required to have faith in the official version
2 - you are a looney with a tinfoil hat, blah, blah, blah
3 - everyone knows what happened, so no investigation was necessary (in this day and age and in an event like this?)
4 - raising questions is wrong, unless you have a neat and pat and certain answer - no scientific advances would ever have been made by anyone who looked at things this way
5- a snide indication that there is something wrong with opening an issue of any kind when it has been settled for the speaker in a satisfactory manner and they don't want that upset, even on an internet board they can avoid entirely if they choose to.
