It is hard enough for a murderer to hold his tongue.
Her credibility was undermined to the point of making the rest of the chat a waste of breath.

I don't often agree with you IOW... but I do on this count. People who deny the moon landings are just tiresome. Unless they're called Billy-Bob and live in a trailer in Nevada... then they're just funny. Furthermore, science fiction has often turned into science fact, as Arthur C Clarke pointed out. And he knew a thing or two... a bit more than Bea anyway.
