Sure, I understand that, but if that is the argument, just make those three points. Arguing "Because conspiracy theories are not only stupid, they are annoying. This issue has been addressed on the tor-talk list many times. Please show one iota of proof." is just silly, as though because we don't have factual proof the government is doing something wrong we are "stupid and annoying". All I'm saying is that this argument lacks a ton of credibility in a world where we just found out our own government spies on everything we do and the reaction from the mainstream went from "those tin foil hat wearing morons!" to "eh, they were right, and I was wrong, why would that possibly make me change my beliefs?".
