Ha! I was just going to post that, and as I scrolled down to the post button I read your post. Beat me to it.
But anyway, I have to agree. It's all about what you don't know. Anytime somebody suggests that something may not be what it seems, a good deal of people just jump on it. It's like all of the stuff about us not really landing on the moon, or about the U.S. government knocking down the twin towers from the inside, even when the arguments run contrary to the evidence. I think people have this innate need to believe in something that they cannot prove, and that goes against common wisdom.
