I think it's a bit hyperbolic to color the recent HN posts as "conspiracy theories." While I don't find them persuasive, the posts I've read have simply been honest attempts to evaluate the public claims implicating North Korea. What I do find interesting and objectionable, though, is that these articles have, in my view, been of uncharacteristically low quality. Ironically, it would seem that the collective HN wisdom and skepticism becomes dormant when confronted with an article seeming to confirm their antecedent skepticism towards the U.S. government.

I know I was being hyperbolic. You nailed it in your second paragraph - that's my problem. Several posts per day regurgitating what was posted yesterday. Until we have more information from Sony, the FBI, or the hackers I wouldn't mind not seeing these posts from 'experts'. Trust me, I'm always skeptical of the Us government. I don't know whether to believe them or not in this instance. But these posts are just getting irritating.
