Much the same reason it tolerates clowns who presume to
know about other people's genetic make-up, or their magazine
reading habits, or the quantity of facts that clutter their
minds, and who display intolerance. In fact, it's called
being tolerant.

Even debunkers get it right occasionally (which is progress).
Even ufologists get it right occasionally (which is progress).

I've long wondered why it appears to be acceptable among some
ufologists for some people to sit in armchairs reading about
UFOs and going "Gwwaaark! Gwok! Puk-puk-puk! Whaaaark!" like
enchanted chickens and believing every word under their
noses, but it is wicked to sit in an armchair and shout
"Bollocks!" at the sight of the same manifest rubbish.

But then I am not a ufologist so I only know from armchairs,
already.
