It occurs to me that this proliferation of conspiracy theories we've seen of late (God knows, enough of them have been posted here on Mudcat!) constitute something of a danger in themselves.

It's like the story of the little boy who cried "Wolf!" We're inundated with so many of these conspiracy theories that if someone were to come along with a true revelation of this sort, he would quite probably just be written off as merely another nut-case hawking yet another conspiracy theory.
