"Why am I not surprised? ;^)"

You shouldn't be: I'm not you...

No, I'm not surprised that someone who has never actually seen a missile launch live, let alone from a variety of distances, someone who has never actually observed aircraft and missiles in the L.A. coastal area, and someone who has never actually watched (and compared) both airliners and missile launches with binoculars ...

... could easily be convinced by hocus pocus to believe that what is, isn't. IN THE SAME WAY THAT I COULD BE CONVINCED by such hocus-pocus, regardless of my armchair/ivory tower theorizing and calculating, that something about a tornado or a harsh winter (neither of which I've ever even seen or experienced in any way, shape, or form). If the even were different, our roles could very well be reversed. THAT is why I'm not surprised.

It's not personal, TX.
