- On the other hand an attempt by NASA to intentionally image that
- particular region -- especially going out of their way to do so
- (whatever that means and however they do so) -- with MO can also fuel
- the conspiracy of "See there! Something funny's going on at Mars, and
- NASA knows something they aren't telling!"
-
- Even when the inconclusive images are released there would be
- statements made that they had been "defocused" to hide the (Choose
- one: pyramids, crying statues, line-drawings, crop-circles) that were
- shown in the originals, which are now classified Top Secret and
- entombed deep in a Vatican catacomb.
-
- It looks like a win-win situtation for conspiracy enthusiasts.
