> Sixty years on, the most interesting thing about the case is enthusiasts' refusal to consider the most plausible explanation because it doesn't deliver the same satisfaction as less likely theories like government conspiracy.

One could make a similar statement about many folks' refusal to entertain ideas outside of the mundane for fear of looking stupid. Interestingly, this behavior seems more common amongst intelligent people (who perhaps are compromised by their pride of their intelligence, but not so confident in their intelligence as to lack that insecurity).

Really. Horror only happens in the movies? What if one of the Dyatlov party went bananas? There were some terrible injuries. And the radiation? (Two years after Mayak.)

We live in a world where six people were just killed by someone who didn't get invited to their party. This clean, sanitized theory wants to pin Dyatlov on physics.
