Some conspiracies are true and some are false. Because modern scum are too stupid to distinguish, they either believe that all conspiracies are true or that all conspiracies are false. I presume you belong to the latter category.

If we want to study conspiracies, we certainly don't want to assume that everything is as simple this, do we. The whole point of conspiracy theories is to help us question the standard narrative, rather than assume that everything is so easy to explain.

I'd say that most I encountered sound kind of far fetched. I'm not denying that shady shit is happening all the time.

edit: holy cow, I'm gonna get some sleep now. It's been a fun discussion so far :)
