2024 Tropical Weather Thread

There’s a difference between conspiracy theory and cognitive dissonance. One can some day be proven true, the other is just not true.
You make it sound so simple and convenient. We've been discussing UFO's/USO's and assassination theories, some of which go back decades and some even centuries. Their are historical leaders, like Tiberius on Capri, that we as historians still aren't sure how he died. Some say Caligula murdered him on his bed via Cassius Dip and Tacitus, but as a consensus, we simply don't know and never will. A few historians still think that Napoleon might've been slowly poisoned by British authorities on St. Helena to quicken his death.

Their are simply some historical events or figures we may never fully the full truth or contextual, nuanced scope to them, especially as one goes further back into history. Then it becomes more about which speculative theory or chronological version of events that seems possible/plausible.

It's not always as cut and dry as you seem to infer it is.
