Unfortunately, that's susceptible to a sort of Pascal's mugging. People can come up with new conspiracy theories faster than you can give them a fair shot, because they're very easy to generate.

As long as they can maintain their reputation and that no one is too dismissive, and as long as a sufficient amount of actual conspiracies are defeated, I don't think it would be too much of a problem.

Hopefully they sleep as well at night as the fine folks here do.
