Is that supposed to be some kind of surprising revelation?
You’re not the only person who does this, but this sort of comment adds nothing to the conversation.
Just because you already believe something or have heard of something before doesn’t mean that’s true for other people. Spreading knowledge inherently involves repetition.
And even if it were true that something is common knowledge, what good is it to say “I know that?” If the first comment was a waste of characters, then so is the follow up.
It’s not a matter of hearing of it before; it’s a matter of applying Occam’s Razor. How gullible does a person have to be to look at a super-secretive Air Force base that’s nevertheless known to be a testing ground for experimental aircraft, and then think the weird lights flying around above it must be aliens instead of just weird, fancy jets?
What is the benefit to pointing out that others are gullible? Who profits?
