No, the analogy is a bad one.

Here's something that might be more appropriate:

Let's say you contend that a day is only 12 hours long, not 24, and you will make a documentary movie to prove it.

So, you go out with a video camera on a tripod aimed at the sky, and you set it to do time-lapse photography, so a 24-hour cycle takes just 12 hours to run, in real time.

Then, you brag to the world that you can prove that a day is only 12 hours, not 24 hours, and you have "documentary" proof.

You market it to all the haters of 24 hour days.

Once I know your fraudulent methodology, there's no need for me to sit through 12 hours of bullshit "proof" to comment on various aspects of it. And once the "documentarian" blows his credibility, it's blown as to the whole film.

Moore's well-known history of this kind of thing doesn't help his, or your case any.

Get it?
