    <p>more than pandering to eager conspiracists everywhere, it&#8217;s a ridiculous assertion. The amount of precision to pull that off would be more miraculous than phelps&#8217; half stroke. &#8220;oh no, it was done programatically,&#8221; you say. Well, even if you created an automated &#8216;if/then&#8217; statement, when would you execute it? Who pulls the trigger, making it look even plausibly real? The odds that lighting struck the timing system and caused an irregularity are much more probable.

Yet another downside to the blogosphere: the lighting quick spread of pure and unadulterated snark. I would blame bigfoot if he hadn&#8217;t already been snared.</p>
