Oh, how you've tried.

Sorry little twerp, you owe me lots of return slaps, but you have

I'll admit the equatorial ridge is interesting, but if it
were a huge spacecraft made out of metal, it would probably
have many flat bits. These flat bits -- not unlike windows
in Terrestrial skyscrapers -- would show many reflection
anomalies to a passing observer which happens to be in
exactly the right place.
The effect is vaguely similar to that observed by those
of us lucky enough to fly over cities in Earth aircraft
at certain times of the day.
It's still a very weird moon, though.

That would be the same Carl Sagan who doesn't mention Hoagland a single
time in any of his books that I have on my shelf.
The same Sagan who spent his entire life fighting the kind of
pseudo-scientific pap that Hoagland and his ilk spouts.
The same Sagan who devoted an entire chapter of "The Demon-Haunted
World" to trashing the face on Mars and the rest of the book trashing
other pseudo-scientific silliness.
I wonder if Sagan thought of Hoagie more as an annoying wannabe
scientist - a hanger-on that he couldn't shake.
Anyhoo, I wonder if he'll be calling Phil Plait his "mutual friend and
colleague" soon!

"Skepticism's bad rap arises from the impression
that, however necessary the activity, it can only
be regarded as a negative removal of false claims.
Not so... Proper debunking is done in the interest
of an alternate model of explanation, not as a nihilistic
exercise. The alternate model is rationality itself, tied
to moral decency--the most powerful joint instrument for
good that our planet has ever known."

Two best lines:
" my long-time friend, Arthur C. Clarke"
and
"our mutual friend and colleague, the late Carl Sagan"
As if either one of those guys would have given Hoagy the time of day.

That would be the same Carl Sagan who doesn't mention Hoagland a single
time in any of his books that I have on my shelf.
The same Sagan who spent his entire life fighting the kind of
pseudo-scientific pap that Hoagland and his ilk spouts.
The same Sagan who devoted an entire chapter of "The Demon-Haunted
World" to trashing the face on Mars and the rest of the book trashing
other pseudo-scientific silliness.
I wonder if Sagan thought of Hoagie more as an annoying wannabe
scientist - a hanger-on that he couldn't shake.
Anyhoo, I wonder if he'll be calling Phil Plait his "mutual friend and
colleague" soon!
That's the one, yes!
Does anyone know if there's any actual proof that Sagan would have
known who Hoagie even is, or that they ever met?

He might have bumped into him at a conference, literally. That's
all I would guess ever happened. I doubt he knew Hoagland
existed.
