Reply #14: Conspiracy theory arguments = Infinity [View All]

I've learned never to argue with a conspiracy buff since it's impossible to ever prove the non-existence of a conspiracy to anyone who believes one exists.

By their very nature, conspiracy theories are impossible to disprove
:
1. They need not be supported by logic;

2. They require no actual evidence to perpetuate; any fact, supposition or rumor, regardless how remote or untenable, can be tossed into the conspiracy side of the equation and be used as "proof" of the existence of the conspiracy. (See #1);

3. The absence of evidence is just further proof of the existence of the conspiracy. (See #1);

4. Evidence to the contrary is further proof of the existence of the conspiracy. (See #1);

5. Every and any coincidence is proof of the existence of the conspiracy. (See #1);

6. Proof of the existence of other conspiracies, even if completely unrelated, is further proof of the existence of all other conspiracies. (See #1)..
