Actually, it was kind of my point that it *is* herd behavior. But now we
have lots of people from outside the "herd" pretending to be in the herd.
Sort of like how you can spook a whole herd of horses or birds by having one
run (or fly) thru the crowd. What's a stampede if not a conspiracy theory
that someone unknown is attacking members of the group?
And then lions use this to their advantage, having one lioness spook a group
of animals towards a bunch of other lionesses hiding in the grass. Which is
kind of what we see with conspiracy theory con-men.
