 Yes, and apparently 7% of the American population [1] think the Apollo
 II launch was faked.  What's your point?  Just in case the foregoing
 wasn't absolutely clear, prevalance of an activity is no guarantee of
 its correctness.

 Prejudice has a J.  That is because it is derived from the same roots
 as "pre" and "judgement".  "Predudice" would be something like "What
 came before the dudes."

 Be excellent to each other,
