Sharon A. Hill hands in her sceptic's card

I think it depends what you mean by sceptics. Some on the sceptical side do familiarise themselves with the evidence, but - perhaps unsurprisingly - they tend not to be the ones who adopt a blanket "This is all rubbish" approach.

I mean the ones who identify as skeptics because they think that shifts their opinions into the intellectual high ground. The kind of skeptic that you are talking about - those that take the trouble to look at both sides - are not the ones banging the drum for skepticism. Of all of us here, I'd put you in the category of the true skeptic. 

Sorry for the "k" in the spelling but I started with it so it remained for the sake of consistency.
