Then again - no less then three independent reviews ALSO told us it wasn't a thing - at least one had the power to bring criminal charges if it found evidence of wrongdoing, but don't let that influence your thinking or anything.

When somebody believes climategate was a thing - it proves one of two things. Either:
1) They don't understand how science and statistics works (not correcting data would make every study ever written invalid - because all data needs correcting because there's no such thing as a perfect measuring device, we improve results by figuring out known things that affect the measuring devices and correcting for them)
or 
2) They DO understand science and statistics, but they know that most people don't, and are exploiting that ignorance to defraud the public.

So I wonder... which one applies to Ivo ? Is he trying to defraud the public, or merely a victim of fraud who keeps believing the lie because he is too proud to admit he had been conned?
