    So one is dead certainty, and the other one is "a conspiracy theory" by loons for loons.

    Not all conspiracy theories are by "loons". Some have turned out to be true. The more fanciful ones should not be a reason to dismiss the ones which have credibility

    Your conspiracy theory about that scientist is exactly the what made name for "conspiracy theories", by loons for loons.

    It's got nothing to do with expected obstruction of justice in the Govt to cover up multiple crimes they commit, that does not qualify as conspiracy.
