Well, atleast you go through life being happy.

Yes, they are indeed saying that, I doubt they actually believe it.
It is a public relations posturing stance: Thomas in hopes of royalties, Kane and Lee as hired guns. I can't prove absolutely and completely that Guppy is not a martian, therefore ... I will refuse to discuss any theory or follow any inquiry until the question of Guppy being a martian is resolved. As long as I never give in on this initial threshold issue that I have created, I will never have to go in any direction that I do not want to go.

>question is, why would they think so?
They don't think so. Probably not even the tabloid editors think so any more than those editors believe the Martian invader stories.

>But, that would mean Thomas' whole book was a ploy
PRECISELY!! but it was ploy to get royalties because he couldn't hack it as a cop even in a dumb cushy place like Boulder.
