Well, he's not alone I can tell you this. I know many guys that consider Armstrong as an almighty prediction-God walking among the mortals. On the other hand, I am convinced that every theory presented (by anyone) needs to be put into a test, no matter how bizarre it may look. I don't find his support to him particularly suspicious, even though I personally never tend to expedite a conclusion without testing thoroughly a theory first. FWIW from my point of view, Armstrong's one has already passed one test...

...I don't buy his "computer model" explanation though.
