For an Italian inheriting the legacy of Galileo Galilei, you sure
approach Science from an odd angle.  "suspicious about the truth" is
good, scientific behaviour.  "clearly evident" is not.

And "accepting the virtual information that someone else feed us"
becomes a non-sequitur.  Question, question, question.  If you don't,
then you start to pick winners without sound scientific grounds.  The
masses do that and here in South Africa it is pretty obvious what the
consequences are.

Lucio.

PS: Hardly worth worrying about.  This is likely to happen after our
64-bit clocks have run out of nanoseconds.
