Unfortunately, cynicism works. The cynical view is almost always the correct view. Every small success I've had in my life was won through the power of cynicism. For any event, if I have two possible explanations to choose from: a) A simple, pure, altruistic explanation or b) A complex, contrived 'evil' explanation I believe 'b' by default; unless there is sufficient proof to show otherwise. It needs to be reasonable proof, not consensus - Consensus means nothing; just look at all the different religions that exist - We know for sure that at least some of them must be wrong even though they have millions or billions of followers. I agree 100% though that it's a shame that the media doesn't do more write ups on these kinds of events - Reading the article, I also have the gut feeling that this is the kind of news which will be forgotten tomorrow. This is terrible when you consider that this article is actually pretty interesting/noteworthy in itself but also because it could lead to a lot of even more interesting articles (which will probably never be published unfortunately). Even lottery winners get better news coverage than this.
