It surely *must* be. I don't know what specifically. (Confirmation bais? 
Excitement? Elitism? Herd behaviour?) But it surely couldn't be this 
popular otherwise. One person believing something silly could just be 
delusional. But millions choosing to believe something silly? There must 
be some deeper reason for why.

Of course, if you want to believe that the Lock Ness Monster is real, 
that's fine by me. But when people are *dying* needlessly because of 
some stupid conspiracy theory... this is "not fine". It's not fine at all!
