Yeah this is an excellent point, many conspiracy theorists are unwilling to listen to reason. They maintain a bias towards everything the government says, assuming it's all a lie. Based on this premise, it's pretty easy to keep circumventing what they say.

But a truly objective individual will keep an open mind to both wacky theories and dull government statements.

In the end, it comes down to the old adage: the simplest explanation is the most likely explanation.
