| No reason at all.
But there are also (and this is where conspiracy theorism comes in) people who go beyond reasonable skepticism and insist that what seems to be a well-demonstrated case can't be true and that there must be a radically different, string-pulling cause.
An example of this are the moon-hoax people.
I remain skeptical about 911, and am in no doubt that there was a conspiracy of some sort behind the assassinations of JFK and RFK. And the conspiracy behind the assassination of Martin Luther King has been established in a court of law.
So yes, there are conspiracies, but we're under no obligation to make a religion out of it.
