If someone says "Well, I think it could have been faked." then I bet many here would automatically label that person as a conspiracy nut.

Life's a lot better when you don't know everything because it leaves room for new information. I certainly don't know everything, but I often get cast aside as a nutter for not immediately agreeing with common assumptions.

Imagine showing a deep fake to someone from just 20 years ago? They'd believe it. It's not hard to imagine that some secretive area of military science is 20-50 years ahead of what civilians know about.
