Maybe this is something that academics and conspiracy theorists share?

  A genuine desire to learn? Really? I don’t think so.

    This article does not use the word 'genuine' (or 'real', for that matter, though I have not searched for other synonyms.) In fact, my comment was prompted by the way that the definitions given here seem to avoid implying that those exhibiting this need are sticklers for the truth. It seems likely that they all think they are getting closer to the truth, and this would seem more pertinent, in defining a personality trait, than whether they actually succeed in doing so.

  Unfortunately in contrast, academics are fans of yesterday's newspaper headlines, conspiracy theorists have repeatedly proven to be fans of tomorrow's newspaper headlines. However, big brother has never lied to us and only the worst people do not love big brother, so I don't officially support or believe any conspiracy theories. Also its too much work to check legacy media to see what's been admitted recently.
