Zombie Alert
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.

This is the most telling quote:
"According to the blog i-hacked.com, some commercial road signs ... can be easily altered because their instrument panels are frequently left unlocked and their default passwords are not changed."
No excuse for this other than sheer laziness. The same thing happened with a lot of early Digital Computer servers, where the sysop didn't bother changing the password from the default. Hackers would dial until they found a data line, log in using the default, and hey presto, they had access to the entire computer system of some very large and well-known companies.
