I think it's fine to have theories but for a lot of the "conspiracy theorists", it's a philosophy, a religion, an ideology independent of reality. It requires belief, faith and a lot of mental gymnastics to believe you know the truth and everyone else is absolutely blind to it. And people build their personalities on these things and then you just get to a point where to admit you're wrong would mentally destroy you.

I believe in aliens, bigfoot (or something like it) might exist, octopi might be aliens, birds aren't real, and the moon might be hollow, but I don't make it my whole personality, and will occasionally do a little googling to see if any of it pans out.
