I’m listening to someone on the other side of a cubicle wall tell his coworker that the tsunami before-after pictures and the photos of the hundreds-feet-tall waves are ‘obviously doctored’ as ‘there’s no way those waves could get that tall’.

I don’t know how to tell him he’s a moron without actually telling him he’s a moron.

Maybe I’ll just print the Enchanted Learning webpage out and staple tape it to his forehead.

Sadly, I've already had that conversation, with no success on my part.

I had a SEB moment.

Good luck to you.

To be fair, there have been a number of mislabelled and doctored tsunami photos floating around out there (just check out Snopes). But it sounds like magical thinking on your cube neighbor's part, more than any particular sense of accuracy.
