Seems like a bad argument. They could simply be lieing, withholding information. And we should expect precisely that if there was a conspiracy.
- zdragnar 4y agoIf you start with the assumption that all information you get is false unless it conforms to what you want to believe, then yeah, you're gonna see conspiracies everywhere. There's no ledge for that slippery slope. Everyone could be telling you lies. You could be living the Trumann show. Your dentist might be implementing mind control devices in your teeth while you're asleep. Lizard people might be running the Illuminati. At some point, you need to find a way to live with a reasonable amount of uncertainty.
