Some people seem keen on drawing attention to the fact that the late Gary Troup also once wrote a non-fiction book called The Valenzetti Equation, and that the book "mysteriously" now is out of print.

Given the lies spread by Troup in Bad Twin, we have one possibility that probably has not occured to the paranoid: Perhaps the book was pulled because it, in fact, was not a non-fiction book, and its publisher decided to recall the book and avoid the public embarassment of this being discovered.

In the past couple of years, we've seen several examples of authors and reporters whose purportedly-factual work turned out to be fiction. We suggest that The Valenzetti Equation is yet another example of this.

The entire question of Valenzetti has been seized upon by the previously-mentioned conspiracy theorists, who have gone so far as to launch fake websites and hoax a well-known online reference source.

Those pushing lies about The Hanso Foundation, and mistaken in their belief that Gary Troup was some kind of truth-teller, are many. It's up to the rest of us to out their lies and delusions.
