The believers dismiss the evidence of (crop)
circle makers’ as the “Doug and Dave effect”.
Television documentaries about manmade circles are known as ‘Doug and
Dave-style programmes’, and so on. So
blinkered have some of them become that any suggestion of a circle being
manmade is derided. (Sceptical believers
– now there’s a conundrum . . .) In the
meantime they have given their ‘science’ a special name. Cereology, they call it and no, neither I nor
Microsoft spellchecker have ever heard of that word either.
