A lovely little text, it catches the method so well. I remember reading
Sitchin's _The Twelfth Planet_ when I was very young, and at first
finding it extremely convincing. Then gradually I started to see the
holes, and thinking of it now it fits your description perfectly (see

who picks it apart).
