  Just because someone "makes sense" to you doesn't automatically mean
he is right.

  For example, some conspiracy theorists have compiled really clever
arguments about how the Moon landings were "faked" or how the WTC towers
were brought down by "controlled demolition" or how it was impossible for
Oswald to have killed Kennedy alone, and to an unprepared person all these
arguments can make a lot of sense. This is the reason why such conspiracy
theories are so popular and so believed.

  However, "makes sense" does not always equal to "is the truth". The
arguments of those conspiracy theories which "make sense" when you first
hear them are actually very easily refutable, and once you understand the
true physics behind them, the conspiracy theory arguments actually stop
making sense and become ridiculous. You were simply misled by clever
mindtricks because you were unprepared to understand them properly.

  Some pseudoscientists also are quite clever at compiling lists of
arguments about their lunatic theories, and if these lists are clever
enough, they might "make sense" to someone, who will then believe them.
However, that doesn't mean that the theory has any basis in reality.
