Alex K's point, of course, being that a "conspiracy" is an agreement between multiple people to commit a crime.

Alex isn't saying that 9/11 was a government conspiracy or the like... he's slyly admonishing the loose equivocation of "conspiracy" and "conspiracy theory" in this thread and general usage...

(I think. Sorry for speaking for you AlexK!)

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
