East and West Germans are also the same people, but they talk a lot of shit about each other even 20-odd years after reunification.
I’m trying to point out the intrinsic difficulty in divining the truth in situations where all sources are intrinsically untrustworthy. In many cases you can evaluate all sources and arrive at a fairly solid picture of what’s going on. However in this case I think it’s unlikely - I ought to make clear, I wouldn’t trust the North Korean media any more, even if I was privy to an unmediated disclosure from them.
Of course I believe the moon landing was real. However if the narrative of the moon landing was better suited to a children’s story, I would probably harbour some doubts.
