His conspiracy process model is wildly unlike that of actual empirical conspiracies. In particular, most of them do not require widespread, hidden knowledge of a single juicy lie that can be "exposed". Hell, a lot of objective cabals or conspiracies operate relatively openly, are fairly open about their general goals, & their actions are public records; the specific correlation between goals and actions is what is obscure. "We further assume that a leak of information from any conspirator is sufficient to expose the conspiracy and render it redundant" This is just stupid.
