Very good point. Bureaucracy does tend to lead us down certain roads not originally intended by those who set up the bureaucratic systems. Conspiracy is a way to draw attention to those bureaucratic failings, otherwise ignored as too hard, or too boring to think about. Which might mean "conspiracy" itself is an important process deserving more respect if it's the only way to shine a light on imperfect bureaucracy.
