I've a friend with impeccable timing who can say:
"is it a conspiracy theory?"
                 .....
                         "or a good business plan?"

At first I didn't fully appreciate the duality... certainly "a good 
business plan" requires a certain amount of secrecy and some 
"conspiracy"...


>    I'm starting to worry that the literati are using "conspiracy theory" in the same way the Trumpians are using "fake news".  Regardless, I'm happy that people like this Tea Pain person exist, just like I was happy to read the posts arguing that Obama's birth certificate was assembled by a desktop publishing app.  It's a great way to test yourself and your membership in your group(s) ... Do you believe it?  Yes?  Why?  No?  Why?  And (to go back to the subject of the thread) regardless of +(whether anyone|who) believes some idea, can you _use_ it to accomplish your goals?  It's pretty exciting/terrifying to imagine "data scientists" being involved in whether or not Trump will remain president ... fact or fiction, just as exciting as the (failed) extradition of dorks like Snowden, Assange, and Levashov.
We do live in interesting (exciting?) times?    But for that I could 
take a motorcycle out on the twisty NM roads just a little too fast and 
wonder around which corner I was going to find the patch of gravel or 
the elk or the pileup caused by the last person who went around that 
corner a little too fast.   I guess I"m getting old!

>> Didn't this turn out to be a conspiracy theory built on a fact?  There were packets between Spectrum Health and a Russian bank, but what the packets meant was largely made up -- oh, I see, this is a new spin on the story, a database replication pattern is detected.  That could still be made up.
