The center of the circle represents the source in either case- and the arrangement of points in the two rings would correspond to people's beliefs relative to the story under consideration. We will be looking at further variations on this ring template in forthcoming installments. Yes- the ring template above can be applied to any story- official or not.

The only problem is, that same model can work for supporting official stories. What the, in my opinion, more ignorant people tend to do with the official story, is if they find missing points, they lie to themselves and act like it's not even there. It's like they get a rush out of lieing to themselves. I'd like to say I take personal comfort in helping people quit lying to themselves, even if it is incredibly uncomfortable for said individual.
