That's interesting May. The significant point being that none of the cover-ups affect their day to day life in the slightest. They are also helpless to influence them.
But at the end of the day all these theories are no different to the mass delusion about the state of the world (politics/economics, environmental, social).
I haven't studied philosophy (aside from dabbling in Plato's republic), but it appears that what we consider to be true is only true because most of us believe it to be so. I suppose religions came about to give people a point of reference in a world where truth is not what it seems...
