On: Neil Armstrong's reply to a Moon landing skeptic

Armstrong's reference to the moon reflectors brought back memories of this classic Big Bang clip:

In this context I can easily imagine that Zack is the teacher.

not sure why I feel the urge to reply :) but Zack is the very opposite of that teacher. Zack is asking questions and wants to learn. That teacher just tries to push her opinion on someone, leaving to room for reply, no room for a conversation, exactly what no teacher should do, no one in general but especially someone who should promote discussions, questioning and argumentation

The way I look at this is Zack reminds me of the collective group of people who truly struggle with basic science.

As Armstrong points out in his reply, it only takes a very basic level of scientific/forensic examination to easily prove the moon landings happened.

But all of that falls on deaf ears (much like in the clip) when you are responding to someone with a Zack level of scientific ability.
