They are intelligently controlled and can go through anything. Check out the documentary Ships of light: The Carlos Diaz Experience for a greater understanding.

The bottom line is whether in court or in a lab, results count; the end product. In a court, the evidence decides the case. In the lab, results satisfies the scientist. Results are evidence that the system works
The difference is that in a court, one makes judgments; in science, one makes theories. Both are subject to human error, but whereas a judgment is rarely reversed, theories are on a regular basis as new evidence comes to light. Judgments are not peer-reviewed; theories are constantly undergoing peer review.
All I am saying is that intentional ignorance of phenomena is far from being a truly scientific outlook. Sure, most crop circles have been proved by admission of the hoaxers to be a hoax. All have not, and while it makes perfect sense to keep in mind that others have been hoaxes, the possibility of rare naturally-formed crop circles is at least still a possibility.
Skepticism is healthy. Blindly ignoring reports is not.

Actually, there are no hoaxed crop circles as they are first-time constructions by humans. To create a crop circle is not the same as creating a hoax. By saying hoax, it implies that there is other than humans creating these sometimes brilliant images. But every single one has fallen on human knowledge. We have some really bright college students! And non-college, of course. The human mind is the greatest creator of everything outside of nature.
Hoaxing is done by CGI experts.
