Re: [Trisquel-users] Offtopic: Assange on google

You just reminded me of a post on some Flat Earth Society forum where some  
guy went at length explaining how their conspiracy theory would become  
"conspiracy fact" given enough evidence.

Seriously, though, "theory" only means its scientific definition in science,  
so I don't see any problem with continuing the very prevalent use of the term  
"conspiracy theory" to describe such conjectures as "round Earth is faked",  
"9/11 was an inside job", and "the moon landing was a hoax". You can't rescue  
the term "conspiracy theory" at this point, anyway. We just have to live with  
the fact that to distance real conspiracies from conspiracy theories, we need  
to be a little more wordy.
