Hoax claims are not accumulable with other hoax claims. Next time read the fine print.

Sure they are, you just have to follow the "correct" line of reasoning: Handle one thing at a time, and don't get bogged down by the last claim when you move on to the next. It's called Hollywood Theory, Plot lines need not be consistant, as long as they are interesting.

You just defined "not accumulable".

I actually like handling one thing at a time. Gives less opportunity for the HB to talk his mistakes away or jump to another subject quickly.

That's all fine and good, but you're leaving off the second part where you don't consider the implications of the other points while arguing a particular case. Regardless if you're facing them all at once (overwhelming) or break them down, they WHOLE story needs to add up. [scarcasm] Suprisingly [/sarcasm] only one 'theory' out there meets that qualification. Can you guess which version of the story that is?

Sibrel's theory. Last time I checked, it added up to 24.95€.

Maybe we can find enough HB claims where the claim of one would negat the claim of another. Sit them both in an interview, and watch what happens.
They would either debunk each other, or come up with the most hilarious malarkey you could imagine.
And the debunker wouldn't even have to argue any science, just keep the conversation on topic.

"these are just several theories as to what really happened. The amount of anomalies in the official story where thes theories are based on however does show at least that the official story is a hoax"

Bad idea. Their combined masses would be converted into energy as they annihilated one another. Not a good thing.

With "Cosmic Dave", you didn't even need another HB to achieve both outcomes. Talk about multitasking!
