Spoiler alert: It's not flat!

Just like Mulder used to say on the X Files, "People want to believe."

In this episode, Brian and Greg are talking about people who take quantum leaps of logic when trying to find an explanation for something. They discuss how things like forced perspective, logical fallacies, and corrupt file folders can lead people to believe things that are absurd.

In reality, the truth is often stranger than fiction!
