It's because of this chain of reasoning: 1. Official narratives have been wrong before. 2. Therefore, official narratives can never be trusted. 3. "Tyler Robinson did it" is the official narrative. 4. Therefore, any other explanation is better, no matter how baseless or speculative. Obviously, 2 doesn't follow from 1, even though 1 is true. But people have convinced themselves that it does follow, so no amount of evidence supporting the "official narrative" will ever change their minds. They skipped rational skepticism and went straight to irrational skepticism, where conspiracy is the only available option.

@SethDillon Rule of thumb: if your explanation requires more people to keep a secret than have ever successfully kept a secret in human history, your explanation is wrong.

@NotTheirScript @SethDillon this is an unreasonable take given prior examples. the manhatten project required many many people to maintain secrecy.

@NotTheirScript @SethDillon Exactly!!!

@NotTheirScript @SethDillon You are so naive
