Even if that is your point, you still chose one of maybe 3 conspiracies that I'd judge to not really fit.
I guess it just so happens that you've chosen to highlight a bad example of a conspiracy from the left side and a good example from the right side in an effort to dispute a study that shows both are similarly susceptible.
Ironically, you're comment is useless due to the conspiracies you've chosen to highlight. There are plenty of left/right examples that _are_ completely valid. Just ignore the ones you don't think are legitimate and I think you'll still have plenty on the left and the right.

I meant the opposite. I think between both imprecise definitions of left and right and even MORE imprecise definitions of "conspiracy theory," this study is completely useless.
