NOTE

Quality Over Quantity in Conspiracy Theories

Having good taste in conspiracy theories is essential for the future as an audience member. The likelihood of a conspiracy theory being true depends on the number of people involved.

Conspiracy theories involving one person are more believable, as secrets are easier to keep when there are fewer people involved. Large-scale conspiracies involving hundreds of individuals are less likely to be true due to the human tendency to share secrets.
