I'm not sure Avi Loeb is the hero people here should want.

I kind of agree. I was not impressed by the paper he co-authored with Kirkpatrick.

Still, I think he represents a road to disclosure, just not the one where the bad actors of the cover up are exposed and punished.

Maybe, maybe not. He strikes me as more of an opportunist rather than any sort of disciple of truth. He's supposed to be a cut-and-dry physicist/astronomer, but he has an incredibly hostile approach to anyone who suggests his conclusions are over-hyped.
