Determining if a conspiracy theory - is "false"
#6
Only opinions can be invalidated.  Facts, are immutable.

The truth is there is a natural resistance to any "new" theory about any events or any people.  Many people of the conspiracy theory bent, revel in the discovery of information which expands our understanding of people and events... but at a cost of facing resistance to what was once commonly accepted as the 'whole story.'  Those people who are passionate or driven in their analysis can become set on an approach that 'social' folks find too disruptive and threatening to their comfort zone.

The friction those disagreements engender are natural as well, steadfast and obstinate resistance, ego-related fixations, and of course there is the factual truth, which stands alone regardless of opinion.

Sincerely, I feel that the reaction of establishment 'narrative' supporters, are just as problematic as the conspiracy theorists' approaches.  It's a social schism driven by disagreement based upon what ostensibly is, and what presumably "should be."

Which is a lot of words to say "It is what it is." (Man, I hate that phrase.)
