Doing research for a website about conspiracy theories.

What factors do you think make a good conspiracy theory?

Please see my other questions for more conspiracy theory stuff. Thanks.

Answer 1

Good questions Trevor. Some of your answers are Hilarius.
For a really good conspiracy theory you first put doubt into peoples minds.
Make them think that all they are told is not always the truth.
From there, learned people will research the topic and look at the story from both sides.
Opinions don't count without facts.

Answer 2

Factual events and perhaps evidence help a lot in conspiracy theories.
