Not have it be a contest to follow random dogmas

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but either way this was hilarious!!

... that was kinda the point of the study? It straight up says that the authors think the current inconsistencies in the literature regarding whether one political side has a higher predisposition to believing in a conspiracy is because of how the studies conceptualize "conspiracy theories" differently.

All this (both the article, and people's reaction to it) seems to indicate to me that we probably need a new word for "the idea of a conspiracy" that is independent from its truth. Like "conspiracy supposition" or something like that.
