A lot of conspiracy theories are true. In fact tons of them come true and no longer are called a conspiracy theory, but at one point they were.
A lot of places today like to lump the term as though anything "conspiracy theory" is bullshit. This is actually not the case. It is also not scientific.
When people start doing that they are not practicing the scientific method it is more like religion. At that point the term "conspiracy theory" is being treated much like "heretic", "blasphemer", "infidel".
Questioning is good. Asking a question does not mean you believe that question or your guess to be the truth.
That is but the hypothesis stage of the scientific method, there are still several steps to take before it becomes proof. Yet in science even then we don't stop questioning. :)
I don't believe in blindly believing conspiracy theories. I listen to them, and use my mind. I also don't believe in hit pieces that try to paint all conspiracy theories as false. Blindly believing, and blindly disbelieving are equally bad places to be.
