feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

I don't know what a "cronut" is, but of the four choices, the only one likely to have small floating objects would be C.

That amazed me, too.

It's like TPTB had a Walk In And Win episode in Salt Lake City.
