Question: Are there a lot of loud and dumb high school students who see conspiracies in everything because they expect the world to run on the same finely crafted plots and intrigue that they see in the books and games they're experiencing for the first time?

Now, take a look at the evidence. How strongly do you assert that you can't really make a call because both sides seem equally credible?
