I'm not putting forth any "conspiracy theory". You should know that human preference can cause people to act individually and independently in ways that conform to that preference. This is not conspiracy, it is confirmation bias. Groupthink may be at play, but this is also different from conspiracy because there is not necessarily any deliberate plotting to control going on necessarily. So with all the gradations of stuff in between extremes, you've not only placed me in an extreme, you've chosen the wrong extreme.

Sure. But your stated idea of what the group think is, is counter to what it was historically. Einstein screwed up his most significant life work to conform to the OPPOSITE of what you think is the group think.
