Conspiracy theories all work the same way. Imaging a ball labeled, "The Truth." Now, there are lots of arrows pointing at this ball, those are "Facts." But there are a few arrows that point away from the ball as well. They too are "Facts."I've often wondered how these weirdos explain away modern humans' DNA containing snippets of Neanderthal, Denisovan DNA. But not enough to sully my mind with that idiotic website. lol
What conspiracy theorists do is glom onto the few arrows pointing away from the ball while ignoring the arrows that point at it. They then declare The Truth wrong and create an alternate truth that becomes their position.
