That said, zero proof. Hence the conspiracy in conspiracy theory.

Conspiracies are real, and they happen all the time. A conspiracy is just a group of people colluding in secret. It has nothing to do with proof.

The problem I have with the term "conspiracy theory" isn't the word "conspiracy"; it's the word "theory". These aren't theories. They're bullshit. "Conspiracy bullshit" sounds much better.
