The problem with conspiracy theories is that any response at all, or
nor response at all are considered equally useful validations of said
theory.  If one makes the basic assumption that there is a conspiracy,
one immediately assumes that anything said by the subjects of the
conspiracy theory is false and meant to mislead.  If someone not
directly associated with the conspiracy theory says anything, they
were duped by the conspiracy so what they say cannot be trusted
either.  If the subjects of the conspiracy theory say nothing, that is
interpreted as their having something to hide, thus, there is a
conspiracy at work.

Arguing this is very likely futile, and wastes time and compute cycles.
