This strikes me as similar to flat earth, in that if you even bothered to think about it for a minute you’d realize it couldn’t possibly be the case.
Is there a massive global conspiracy involving hundreds of millions of people which doesn’t benefit anyone…hmm… probably not.

Cargo cult logic.
Wow! That is a spot on insight I didn’t notice. Good job!
