I'm not going to discuss arguments about one of the beliefs of a non-rational person. If you feel a pressing need to iron out the finer distinctions of such stuff, I'm certain there are multiple suitable sub-reddits.

(But I'll add: There are also an infinite number of non-conspiracy theories fitting the facts.)

Edit: coldtea, sorry I'm not going to discuss e.g. if an infinite number of possible alien species could be responsible for 9/11. (And no, not even if the possibly existing alien species are enumerable :-) ) See above. I might, if I had more time.



>There are also an infinite number of non-conspiracy theories fitting the facts.

That's wrong too. Social life and human action don't have infinite possibilities.

Depending on what scale you draw the line for detail, there are is a finite number of theories fitting any fact -- and less of them, if you include possibilities (Ocamm's razor).

And the more facts you have, the smaller the number of theories becomes.
