The problem with conspiracies is that they depend on silence, which seems to be completely contrary to human nature. So, to my way of thinking, they're a lot like communism- they sound really good, and they seem like they'd work, but when you actually try to put the thing in to practice, you see that you are working against the normal way people operate.

Now if you had robots, and you could program them to shut up, THEN you could have conspiracies... (assuming the programmer could shut up...)
