Generally speaking, people don't dismiss conspiracy theories merely because they are minority viewpoints. The dismiss conspiracy theories because it is obvious the fail the logic sniff-test.
If you gave equal time to every theory, no matter how basicly logically flawed, you would end up spending all your time just watching poorly edited videos on youtube. Dismissing something as a conspiracy theory isn't closeminded, it's a basic defensive mechanism.

- abbasmehdi 16y agoPopular beliefs are barely ever logically qualified by every single person who believes them (most folks are blind followers - they'd rather take your word for it than go through the trouble, I understand), and secondly you are saying that alternate theories fail a test, that is my point, test before disqualifying, don't just disqualify. Curious to know about your username "burgerbrain"? ;)
