A conspiracy theory is actually a hypothesis which has not been proven at the end of the day. To label any hypothesis as a conspiracy theory without proper investigation is bad science however ridiculous it sounds. The problem is not that a hypothesis has been proven but the fact we've been trained to accept that labelling something as a conspiracy theory means that we don't need to test it again and that those who are involved are not credible. That applies to a lot of things that we think are gospel. We've been fed 'facts' without proper evaluation for a long time. Even the traditionally crazy things such as AIDS being engineered, holocaust denial and WTC being an inside job are fair cop for scientific investigation. I'll probably get downvoted for being rational on that one which will illustrate my point.
