It's not necessarily crazy to think that there may have been things covered up about 9/11; at the very least, evidence of screwups on the part of those whose job it was to try and catch people like this. Such a broadly worded question is different than specific conspiracy theories.
That's a fair criticism, the question was vague enough that it could be interpreted as "I think the government didn't completely level with us" or as "I think they're really hiding something seriously false", and it's never been adequately resolved as to what the spectrum really looks like.
