There was a ton of stupid conspiracy theories around the whole clones sheep thing back then. I think looking back on that time period (like two decades ago, not one) the dumb conspiracies were forgotten as they didn't lead to anything outside of fearmongering.

Same for the moon landing, there are still conspiracies that it was all faked.

I never understood the goal of things like denying the moon landings or saying the earth is flat. "Ok, you're right. Now what?" I especially like that they think NASA is powerful and has a huge budget. Tell that to congress and watch them laugh.

The only thing I can guess is their brains have been fried by dramatized TV shows and movies where plot gives all the relevant information to explain all inconsistencies for a satisfying ending. Sometimes you're just a person in a cave looking at shadows, trying to find an explanation for everything with the little information you can gather in your life is a waste.
