Rumor has it, the fire started in the room where videotapes are stored.

Kidding.
I am about 25% sure of this.

Maybe the redacting machine caught on fire from overuse.

I saw a news report that the fire was near Dick's office, so maybe it really was the redacting machine.

Suitguy is not bitter.

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

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
