The problem with Hoagland is he's a flat out kook bar. He finds "evidence" because he's looking so dam hard for it.
The trouble is, he knows more than enough science to actually be right sometimes. Just not yet.
Art Bell had a real JPL scientist on recently. Bell opened the door to let the JPL scientist argue against some of Hoagland's theories.
It was surprising to hear him just say something to the effect of "I don't see it, but I would not want to deny that someone else might have," or words to that effect.
It made the JPL scientist sound that much more credible (and generous) that he would not discount another's opinion, even when indirectly invited to do so.
