40. Nothing wrong with questions; if they are really questions.
Conspiracy theorists constantly "ask questions" as a means of asserting some sinister thing without having to make an actual accusation. The unstated accusation being so preposterous that it would not be taken seriously if actually spelled out. This is not intellectually honest.

But, I am intrigued by your response to LC.

You agreed above that the wild-assed theories -prevented- the consideration of middle-ground theories. How then do you find acceptable a film like LC, which packages wild-assed theories in attractive, but misleading garb and ---more importantly---uses the dishonest sources and invalid logic that allow the wild-ass theories to flourish? Isn't there a contradiction here?
