Interesting. I had said that conspiracy theorists aren’t daunted by the fact that they’re basically always wrong. Fascinating to learn that that isn’t the issue. The issue is that they think they’re right. They need nothing but hearsay and the medicare website and a couple of tin-foil-hat radio hosts to be convinced that they’re right.

Seems obvious in retrospect. It should’ve been obvious at the time, and I’m not sure why I’d have thought that they would have taken the lack of real evidence of previous conspiracies on the scale that they’re always talking about as evidence that they’re wrong.
