... and I think it should be explained. The problem is, conspiracy theorists don't really ask questions except as a rhetorical device, because their beliefs don't really have anything to do with the answers. Since JFK, a generation of conspiracy theorists have grown up thinking that all you have to do is find "anomalies" in the "official story" and you will be hailed as a heroic "researcher" within the cult, so they get nothing but annoyed when it turns out that their questions have reasonable answers.
