Smaller still is the straw man argument that claims an argument not put forth. Of course there wouldn't be the word 'conspire' if men did not 'breathe together'.
It's the absurd tendency to lazily label as conspiracies so many things that can be explained from the facts available.
There are the facts, and there is human nature that predicts a 'falling out' among conspirators the bigger the conspiracy theory.
But maybe I missed something? DID the article make the broader claim that 'conspiracies absolutely do not exist' rather than qualify by stating that there's just too damned MANY bat-shit conspiracy theories?

Conspiracies are not new and to believe they absolutely do not exist is small.
