Not as strong as the as the stuff the writer of the following was on:
“The pictorial representations showed the observers that the flight path was down McMurdo Sound and those displays would, not unnaturally, take precedence over the spoken words indicating a direct track from Cape Hallett to McMurdo Station and indicating the NDB as the destination waypoint.” (Mahon Report p60)

Not even the most deranged of the believers could accept that Captains Collins and Simpson, and First Officers Cassin, Gabriel and Irvine, sat through this briefing, heard the audio stating that the nav track went to McMurdo Station, saw a couple of photos suggesting otherwise, and then took their pick without asking a question. Mahon was so whacked out by either the chemo drugs or the head tumour that he added the phrase “not unnaturally” to his ridiculous finding, which was one of the most crucial.
