Of course.

But the desire to see patterns that are otherwise unseen will almost certainly result in what some may call "conspiratorial thinking". There are things you regard as facts that others would call "conspiratorial thinking". But it certainly is possible to go too far and see conspiracies where there are none. There has to be a balance. But assuming people in power are secretly collaborating, which is the literal definition of a legal conspiracy, is something that happens with shocking regularity in this world.

This is the message that the general population needs to read. But I think the population of Saidit needs to read "not everything's a conspiracy that needs to be uncovered; focus on the ones that are and do" or something to that effect.

Also, if you haven't already, please read every cause wants to be a cult.

Edit: Also read The Relationship Between the Village and the Mission, which has been criticised less but is more relevant.
