You're right. Any of those scenarios are incredibly far fetched and don't make a lot of sense.

However, that doesn't mean we should just ignore evidence that doesn't fit the official story. If we discover evidence contradicting our current hypothesis, we can't simply ignore it because we don't like it. That's bad science.

All I am saying is that there are holes in the official account. Why are people so afraid to look deeper into these matters?

You are trying to use a straw man to attack any views other than belief in the official account. I have made no speculations about why the government has supressed certain facts. Certainly it's possible there is a more realistic and less flippant answer than "The Bavarian Illuminati/the Jeeeeewwwws/Citibank/Oprah Winfrey", but you are trying to lump curious scepticisim in with lunacy.

That's not fair. It is foolish to assume that either the US Government is not lying, or there is a massive conspiracy. It is also possible that there is a more boring and simple reason why the government has withheld information. But regardless, any questioning of even a minor detail and suddenly you are label a conspiracy theorist.

You are purposefully shutting yourself out to anything contrary to your views; I don't feel that is what I am doing.
