Theories that are debunked will only periodically be allowed back in the sub.

The default position is that the "conspiracy does not exist".Īfter tearing your references to shreds, if the hypothesis still stands to probabilistic reason, the conspiracy is upgraded to "plausible". This is a bastardized version of peer review. Then the community verifies what you think using extreme scepticism + empiricism + science.
