Wish we had a term for "conspiracy theories" such as "flat earth" that separate them from *actual conspiracies* like the obvious murder of JFK by CIA/FBI operatives. People do conspire, they form and execute conspiracies and cover them up- so when people uncover evidence and put it together, they end up with a theory *backed by evidence.* I think conspiracy theories that are backed by significant evidence should be called something different, like maybe just "conspiracies".
