You got it exactly right. The other thing that is missing here: If you can go over photos with a fine tooth comb and ask questions, then, we can go over the critiques and analysis of skeptics with the same level of detail and see if any of that holds up. What usually happens is that, while we find the official stories either totally or partially a set of lies, when you examine the skeptics claims you get nothing but utter garbage. With that being said, it is VERY IMPORTANT that we have people with this kind of obsessive compulsive predisposition looking into all the nooks and crannies because the corollary to confirmation bias is lazyness bias. Normal people simply don't have the kind of mental framework necessary to go over this stuff at the excruciating levels of detail to really get at the truth and so normal people always fall for the lazyness bias. Without these people we would not have found out about the gulf of tonkin or operation northwoods. Hell, we only recently started to get hints that Bob Woodward was working for the CIA when he exposed Nixon in the Watergate scandal ... he was the waterboy for the CIA that setup Nixon.
