Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.82,0:00:48.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But one of the things you learn as a navigator-- Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.03,0:00:48.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you don't learn it, Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.95,0:00:51.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're probably not going to be one very long-- Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.20,0:00:55.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is you never trust any one individual data point.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.03,0:01:14.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But when you look at all the data, Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.19,0:01:16.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it all lines up with a consistent picture.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.10,0:01:38.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So just because it's a trace, Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.09,0:01:39.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's interesting, Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.16,0:01:42.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it doesn't mean that it cannot be effective. Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.79,0:01:45.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what I've found is Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.30,0:01:49.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that people who really, really, really believe it's all a vast conspiracy theory, Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.90,0:01:51.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's not much you can say.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.02,0:02:27.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what I sometimes want to know, Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.51,0:02:29.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I hear these conspiracy theories Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.18,0:02:33.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is how do you get about 3,000 academics across the world Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.44,0:02:34.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who like to talk, Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.75,0:02:36.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who (oh, by the way) if they could really disprove this, Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.60,0:02:39.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's probably a Nobel Prize in it for somebody.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.44,0:02:49.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a challenge.
