And we will have new hoaxes by then.

The embarrassing part is that we can identify many of them already, before the historical consensus catches on.

That's the whole thing about consensus tho, it's hardly embarrassing

Are there any areas in which you'd feel attacked if I poined out a hoax?

Not at all.

I enjoy the subject of conspiracies and hoaxes without holding a strong personal affinity towards any particular one.

Cool, the low hanging fruit then:
