Dang, Uncle Salty is in the F.E. camp.
I tried doing the moonlight temp test with an I.R. thermometer. My unscientific results were inconclusive. On an asphalt drive, I had about a .5-1 degree cooler temp in moonlight vs moonshade. On aluminum siding, I saw a .1-.3 temp increase difference. Nothing that couldn't be attributed to the cheap Harbor Freight I.R. thermometer.
I need to try it with the magnifying glass too. 2 more weeks before next full moon.

There have been thousands of people at Antarctica at research stations and adventurers, during Southern Hemisphere summer, you don't think any of those would say anything about it? And then you have poor Glass at this forum, who would only get maximum 8 hours of sunlight around Christmas (summer equinox). in Australia. Strangely I never heard him complain about it. I was there in January/February 1992, and I can't recall those long dark nights either, but it is a long time ago so my memories might have gotten skewed, by the constant round earth propaganda that engulfs humanity.
Seriously what's wrong with you on this? On pretty much everything else you seem to be able to give a sober and well reasoned response.

It's because I can't prove that it's not.
Then you look at .gov photos and realize they are all faked, photoshopped, or an "interpretation". None of what .gov shows us is on the up and up. So why believe their calcs? Why, after all we know of .gov fuckery, would we trust anything from them?
Maybe I have entered one of them loops of confirmation bias. Heck if I know.
However...
It's assholes like you that keep the good men down.
There is some truth there, though. Mamboni took a fucking leap to come out as F.E. I didn't until he did. I knew what the reaction would be.
The unwavering faith in .gov of both Book and yourself is shameful and embarrassing. You guys really went over the line in the chastising. Doc didn't deserve that.
Once again. Why would anyone trust anything from .gov?
