It was a conspiracy theory when someone declared the world to be round when the best science of the day knew without question it was flat. It was a conspiracy theory when someone determined the Earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around. Long held beliefs continue a long time after there is good evidence to support a different conclusion. It is always a conspiracy theory that challenges main stream beliefs and teachings. My concern is not to prove main stream thinking is wrong. Taking a hammer and mashing my toe would be about as productive endeavor. My intention is to have knowledge far enough ahead of the crowd that I'm the individual in the herd that stops, turns and moves in a different direction while most of the herd stampedes over the cliff.
