You are absolutely right, and there are many more questions.
I am totally flabbergasted that so many people swallow the official BS hook line and sinker. In my little ?! series I want to throw one absurdity out there at a time, to give people just enough to question without -God forbid- having to think too much. If just one person goes "that doesn't make sense!" or has just a little shadow of a doubt, I'll be a happy camper. Sometimes all it takes is a tiny little tear in the fabric of their belief, and the whole thing unravels, one strand at a time.
