Conspiracy theorists have entire ecosystems of boards and forums where they themselves discuss what they believe, and they often spread their beliefs openly. The premise that "the conspiracy theory world" is a black box is ridiculous.

Some of them do.

It is indeed - did you notice that it wasn't me who said that?
You are bot criticizing conspiracy theorists, you are criticizing your internal representation of them, that's why you make unforced errors: what you see is not the thing itself.
It is painful having to explain this to people over and over, and having them laugh as if it's some sort of a pseudo-scientific conspiracy theory - it is literally a scientific fact.
