There are people alive today who will tell you the moon is a hologram. Never respect human intelligence more than you have to.

My great aunt explained to me as a child in the 70s that the moon was round because gravity pulled it into a sphere. This woman was born around 1890, educated in a one-room schoolhouse and lived on a Civil War-era farm in bumfuck West Virginia.

And then ya got what we have here today.
