Henry Cooper, in a 1969 New Yorker
article about the Apollo missions, quoted
you as saying that geologists have no more business studying
the moon than studying the sun. You clearly don't have a very
high opinion of geologists.

That is true. They're so enormously fashion-conscious. It was
very unfashionable to think that the continents had moved. And
then from one year to the next it was declared that it was all
right, that the continents had moved. And then if you had any
difficulty with the details of how the continents had moved, you
were a crackpot. They just follow a leader.

Don't people tend to overtrust what they are taught are facts?

Yes, absolutely. Not only overtrust, but they publish whenever
they have a positive result for an accepted theory, and if they
have a negative result they suppress it, or it gets suppressed by
the referee.
