You&#x27;re exactly right. Otherwise, this logic would lend support to, for instance, the notion that the moon landings were faked, merely because other conspiracies have turned out to be true. And nobody that&#x27;s sane really thinks the moon landings were faked, so we find that other conspiracies being true doesn&#x27;t really help with evaluating any given conspiracy.<p>Or maybe more succintly: we need more Edward Snowden and less Alex Jones.
