Yes but you don't believe what you read on the internet. It is totally different when you look in the eyes of an person that is an expert on the subject. That in itself you can't get on the internet.
I can look into the eyes of a genuine person that is explaining to me how the nuclear power plant works. He/she is explaining it all to me because he/she has done the necessary reading up on it and is of the belief that it works entirely the way they have been told it does.
I can spot a liar, face to face. It's a skill I have, that many will have, if you're prepared to look. All the astronauts display it.
The problem is; someone in a nuclear power plant who are regurgitating what they memorised, can be legitimately telling you what they believe to be true, so they are hardly going to be displaying any signs of lying.
Listen.. I know a cop-out when I see it. I am not going to hold your hand on this one. Those engineers are not scripted robots. They are experts their field like any other specialized professional. If you were to see jroa and ask about his knowledge of electronics and experience in the military would you tell him in his face he is full of shit because he just did what he are told? I dough it. There are lots of people that have greater knowledge than you and are experts in their field. You may have an opinion but it stops there. You have no experience and that has a greater value. Gone for a few hours.. talk later.
Why would I need to DOUBT Jroa on being in the military or electronics? I have no issues with anyone doing their jobs.
I have no issues with people working at nuclear power plants, doing their jobs, from the lectricians to the control room operators, down to the canteen personnel. I'm sure they do an excellent job and are very conscious of doing it to the best of their ability in a responsible manner.
I have a job for you starman. Good pay but it's 12 hour shifts and it carries a major responsibility of which you will be tested on with drills and such, not knowing of the drill is real or a test.
Your job title is nuclear missile silo operator. You will be part of a two man team and both required to hold a launch key to be inserted into a key slot when the order comes. You will have a gun and be required to shoot to kill if your co- silo operator goes crazy or refuses to key in for launch after codes are given.
You will be fully trained for the job and told about all aspects of what you are launching and the warheads they carry, etc.
Do you want the job? If so, you will also be required to do some talks to a small group of people who will tour the place , obviously after being blindfolded and slung into the back of a van, so they can't give the game away.
Tell me, starman... do you know what you are launching in terms of warhead? Do you know for sure what you are launching?
The answer is...no you wouldn't, except what you've been told, yet it all appears legit and you've just told a small bunch of amazed, yet badly bedraggled people with roughed up hair, on a tour, that your missiles hold a blah blah blah kiloton/megaton warhead, capable of destroying a city, etc.
The problem is, you aren't lying to them, because you believe it all yourself. You are merely conveying the lies to them, unbeknown to yourself.
Now tell me about these power station workers again?
