Isn't that what all "discrepencies" in conspiracy theories boils down to?


Okay, I'll stick with the one clear point of your argument. No.

Far too many conspiracy theories mention irregularities that are merely suspicious, and means that the government is lying... but only if you felt that way in the first place.

If you find a discrepency that is ironclad proof that something odd is going on, then this might make a previously neutral observer decide that the government is lying. Of course, the word "government" is taken in the broadest possible sense here.

I just don't see how him stating his opinion in his own words is going to make his accusation stronger.


It won't. It helps him make the accusation in the first place.
