By the time a meme makes it to the New York Times, it's too late to stop it. It's now common knowledge among the non-cognescenti that there is a massive worldwide illegal meteorite black market. A perfect example of argumentum ad populum: "it must be true because so many believe it." Fifty million Elvis sightings means the King still lives, right?
