Wrong. I'm wiping the floor with your phrase "calling someone a hoax with no single word to support it" by showing that there is a lot more than a single word supporting it.
Assuming that he's wrong, that makes him wrong, and not a hoax. Unless you do have evidence of him intentionally misleading people, which is what I asked for.
But you already knew all this, didn't you?
Examples of Tom misleading people (or at a minimum proving he is an unreliable source), Yeah, i think i might be able to find a few...
The separation between Grumman and its employees are so distant that they don't even know what their employees are working on. Grumman knew that their employees were working on some Apollo projects and went with that for their press releases. Their engineers work in government facilities for government managers. The only interaction a contractor has with his company is a paycheck twice a month.
This particular Grumman Exec is a special case
Typically the executives and managers at the head-hunting company don't really know what their employees are doing for their clients.

Well this thoroughly proves that Tom either;
A) Does not do any research but simply spews out BS upon more BS until there is so much BS you cannot see the truth, and this is just an unusual example where its easy to see through the BS. You usually can see through his BS, but it takes more time than this example. He really is not trying to mislead people, he is just too lazy and works off the assumption that his experience/knowledge base is sufficient for every topic. This would explain his refusal to post sources. So its possible that he is not intentionally misleading people, but simply an idiot that no one should listen to.
B) He knew that Grumman helped on the lander, so he lied to make Grumman just an extension of the government by saying that they had no control over their employees and that they worked on a government facility. Then i gave him Gavin (vice president of Grumman during the lander development, and head manager of the program. (not to mention i gave him an article that said Grumman had begun the project before ever being contracted by NASA so that they would be more likely to be awarded the project). he discredited Gavin by saying he was a NASA employee and not a Grumman employee at the time. Then i gave him three articles saying he was a Grumman employee., and an article that said the craft was built on a grumman facility in bethpage New york, hell even the plant number was included.
I think the second is more likely, because Tom has been silent on the issue. Had he come out and said, "your right, im sorry, ive just worked for many government contractors and they never worked like grumman did during the 60s" I would have been entirely copacetic with what had transpired. But now its too late, so im really just stuck with option B.
Oh and then there is the suggestion that countries would just print money to build GPS towers, that is either stupid or deliberately misleading.
Considering that countries print their own currencies and can afford anything they want to afford (at least in the short term), I will have to disagree.
And my personal favorite, people on the equator do not have time for complex or alternative threories, they are too busy flinging turds at eachother!
The people there are more concerned with spearing zebras for dinner, knitting loincloths, and coming to terms with a permanent body oder. They are not interested in studying alternative world models.
