Sometimes, the more schooled a person is, the less educable they become. Especially if they've made significant investments (time and $$) for it, because then the position that they are in error becomes psychologically untenable, which is a contributing factor to dogma.
As Mark Twain once wrote, I never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Some educated persons are aware that Ed Teller himself made presentations to the gov a decade ago, using what some today refer to as "chemtrails". Of course they're real, as anyone who's paid attention to the skies for 40 years is well aware.
I think of "chemtrails" as less of a "conspiracy" and more of as a fact of life. There's nothing all that secretive about it, as far as I can tell, and nobody could poison the whole planet, without also poisoning themselves.
