13. By your definition very few conspiracy theories are conspiracy theories

... and almost none of the conspiracy theorists are conspiracy theorists.

RFK, JFK, MLK--none are implausible and all have evidence.

9/11 LIHOP--plausible and plenty of evidence.
9/11 MIHOP--plausible and lesser evidende.
WTC demolition--plausible and lesser evidence.

By a more reasonable definition--a conspiracy theory being a theory that involves a conspiracy--the 9/11 Commission Report is certainly a theory about 19 terrorists and some unknown number of affiliates who conspired to fly hijacked airliners into buildings.

Thanks for demonstrating how loaded and lacking in objectivity and useless (except as a blunt instrument) the term "conspiracy theory" has become. That its implicit adjective "wacko" is so necessary to the current meaning that it need not even be overtly applied.
