You realise that saying things like "Just the energy of their panic should tell you truth has been struck" makes you sound like the worst kind of conspiracy theorist? Besides which, the tone of Dan's post was more "exasperation" than "panic", IMO.
Which is not to say that he's right and you're wrong, of course. Just that the casual observer would probably be more inclined to believe Dan, because he doesn't come across as paranoid and aggressive.
