Baloney Detection and Rising Bamboozles

This is a picture of Cabin 3 taken in July of 1957,  graciously provided by Dale Frick.  

It sure looks a lot different now!  Here is a picture of Cabin 3 as it appeared in the autumn of 1998.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.  We're no longer interested in finding the truth.  The bamboozle has captured us.  It is simply too painful to acknowledge - even to ourselves - that we've been so credulous.  (So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new bamboozles rise.)"

- Carl Sagan,
"The Fine Art of Baloney Detection," Parade, February 1, 1987
