I was a bit tongue in cheek and playing off the previous comment using the phrase "conspiracy theory".

It has a bad connotation, but I guess not all things that sound like conspiracy theories are false. Another car themed topic is when Standard Oil and Firestone Tires colluded to buy up trolly lines and shut them down.

Ah gotcha, thanks for clarification.

Things can be a conspiracy of common interests (and not even necessarily be bad) without involving "smoky rooms" (also known as boardrooms; but for fun on that topic, check out full history of NCR, company was nuts).
