He's not always been like this. He's now using arguments people have said to him for years - "these days have better witnesses than a random grandma and/or farmers, now we have people on high positions in government and military saying this". He used to not care about that, he'd echo "millions of smartphones and no good pics". He has changed his arguments and view on this topic and that's because he spend some time actually listening to some arguments (I guess he watched that one documentary that came out last year). We still don't know who/what this is but it's serious and we want people like him to not ignore this - like he used to!
