Reflexão sobre a natureza humana

Ao ler este post, lembrei-me de uma história recente. Resumindo, falava-se disto:
- "Researchers from the Free University of Amsterdam immediately doubted the rock was from the moon, and began extensive testing. The tests concluded the rock was petrified wood. U.S. embassy officials were unable to explain the findings, but are investigating."
Muito mais do que a falsificação, que não é de estranhar por aí além, a caixa de comentários é uma delícia.
Vejam só estas:

- "What makes you think NASA made a mistake. I see it far more likely that a maintenance worker swapped the moon rock for a fake then sold the real one on the black market. Think about it ... who stands to gain and who has the motive."

- "The market on black market blocks of silicate must be booming then.

What probably happened was a diplomat made an offer he couldn't live up to and covered up for himself by grabbing somethign fromt he backyard and having a buddy at NASA cover for him."

- "How do they know its not petrified wood from the moon?"
