theorists, one side pretty much the official line. If you're on the
not-hoax side, then it's exceptionally rare for you to quibble with
the "official story" - or, if you do, you contextualise it as part of
a historical discussion, "hey, this new document suggests we've had X
wrong all along" and not as Something Smells Fishy Here, "hey, this
new document exposes the official coverup of Y". Details don't
desperately matter; indeed, hoax proponents with greatly differing
reasons behind their beliefs seem to coexist happily.
Conspiracy theories are a cottage industry--there's always a market for it.
That's why it's disappointing not to see more support from ArbCom for
Principal (4) "Reliable sources". WP:ATTFAQ finally has something about
"obsolete sources" -- hallaluja.
