    So I ask again because all you can do is deflect: what scientific claim do you disagree with?

    While you’re at it, Google the phrase “in living memory.” You just can’t help but make up anything that suits your argument, can you?

      The scientific claim I disagree with is the one claiming that we made ourselves capable back then of reaching the moon. As if that wasn’t what I said in my original comment (and hence ironic I’m seen as deflecting).

      As for your other request…

      What does this change, or what do you think I made up?

        That’s not a scientific disagreement. You’re making a positive claim that the moon landing was faked. Not until right now have you claimed that we lacked the technology to accomplish that claim, and even that isn’t a scientific disagreement. That’s a primarily political disagreement about a feat of engineering.

        And you were the one that quoted me saying “in living memory” and then making up your own version of what I meant by that to argue against.

        I pity anyone who has to interact with you in real life.

          So was it wrong then to assume that by “living memory” you meant the definition of living memory? A definition I gave above, as per your own request? When it came to that, the only thing I asked was about the differentiation between directly and indirectly, otherwise I was going by said definition. I was also going by the definition of “scientific”, whilst anyone who says a “feat of engineering” does not fall under “scientific” is not. Neither did I say the scientific shortcomings were technological in nature.

          To not believe something does not necessitate being a positive claim, it is the aversion to one, as per the OP’s question, which nobody else has issue with seeing as fitting their criteria, and neither am I out to convert anyone to the belief, it’s a simple example of me disagreeing with the scientific community (in this case NASA) on something, so you asking me for proof provided by me and then being dissatisfied when it doesn’t meet your standard of what constitutes proof is your problem, not mine, which negates and perhaps even reverses your last sentence, especially as that too is not outside the criteria of the OP, which not only doesn’t exclude even subjectively concluded answers but openly condemns what you are doing right now with singling me out when it requests everyone be chill towards each other.
