The delicate art of debunking conspiracy theories
How do you debunk a conspiracy theory? Suppose people think that Israel carried out the 9/11 attacks or that the moon landing was faked. Or that Koch money or Hillary Clinton or Pete Buttigieg was behind the Iowa caucus fiasco, or that the coronavirus comes from a fiendish plot by multinational corporations.
When it comes to, say, the moon landing, there's a good chance that the conspiracy-minded will have a lot of (apparent) evidence to support their theories. Getty Images
