Joe, I think your use of the word "pretense" is wrong in this case.
There is a genuine belief in what these people are trying to get across to the people.
Carl Sagen was a firm believer in extra terrestrial life.
Why are they spending Billions of dollars to try and prove one way or the other about life in the universe.
"Pretense" NO 'Belief" and research "YES"
Cheers
