The question for me always is, will you believe the unlikely or absurd if it is the only reasonable conclusion based on the evidence? Less so now, but I still sometimes say to myself "It is so unbelievable and yet, it has to be true." With the pizzagate stuff in particular, I would sometimes wonder if the symbolism and whatnot is just a giant troll and inside joke. But when you look at how far back some of this stuff goes, long before the internet was even invented by Al Gore, you have to conclude that there is something to it. There simply was no widespread conspiracy to troll. And yet, there are red shoes, and pizza, and weird pedo swirls, etc. There are just too many coincidences that add up to defy statistical probabilities.
