The simpler person would completely miss the point.
Indy's shot would miss, and he would be slain -- by his undiagnosed malignant brain tumor, and not by the man with the sword, who was engaged in mind-focusing techniques in preparation for performing surgery.
Elucidating what constitutes "trollism" is not the same as feeding the troll.
If you had attempted to engage Hemos in a tête á tête so as to persuade him to your point of view, then you would have been "feeding the troll". Sure, you skirted the boundary by firing a few emotively reactionary shots across the bow...but the balance of your post, i.e. calling "troll" and giving clear reasons why, is simply commentary.
Now, let's all cleanse ourselves by immersing our souls and our fingertips in a good ol' purifying flame war.
"I have yet to hear a persuasive argument that the US government doesn't already have complete access."
I have yet to hear a persuasive argument that the Illuminati don't really control the whole shebang, including our very thoughts.
My point: It's pretty much impossible to prove some negatives.
Nevertheless, I agree somewhat with the thrust of your (over)statement, "Everyone keeps saying "trust me" then you find out you were lied to afterwards... over and over again."
There's a balance point to be found somewhere between naïve and paranoid.
Most of the problems with atmospheric distortion can now be overcome with Earth-based telescopes, particularly Large Array Telescopes. One remaining problem seems to be eliminating vibration of the telescopes themselves due to wind and even wandering livestock.
