No, no, my friend... that's not how it works. The anti-"conspiracy" gang have all this figured out. Expect before long the response:
Well, it doesn't matter if your conclusion is correct! The problem
was that the facts of the time did not engender the conclusion. The
facts have now changed and we too believe differently now. Except
when we believe it, it is warranted and thus no longer a
"conspiracy".
In case that rhetoric sounds familiar, here is the unsurprisingly similar BushCo version:
It does not matter that Iraq turned out not to have participated
in the 9/11 attack, that there were no WMD, etc. At the time we
invaded we all believed they did and the few tinfoilhat nuts who
did not, had no access to the facts... blah, blah... they do not
support the troops, they are traitors... blah, blah...
Any time you see trick words like these ("traitors", "support the troops", "conspiracy theory") you should realise immediately that the dispenser is fully stocked with more of them... you just can't win! ;-)
