I am no conspiracy theorist, but man, you just gave government and science the same degree of trust in reporting the truth. Yikes.
No I didn't. That is the strawman position of what I said. Most conspiracy theories (9/11 shinanigans and JFK assination) have been very vigorously and independently scientifically investigated. It doesn't have anything to do with the government or trusting the government. That's the way conspiracy theorists always try to twist everything. Do you think the government was the only people who investigated these events? It comes down to believing good evidence or bad evidence. Something that should be fundamental to true skepticism.
How is it strawman when you made a funny ass comment about everything that was reported in those cases being in the same vein of truth as the earth being round?
Maybe your analogy was just wack.
