Another data point in the "belief in one conspiracy tends to indicate belief in many conspiracies" column.
My favourite was the study that showed that among people who believed most strongly that Diana, Princess Of Wales was assassinated? They were also very likely to believe she had faked her death and was in hiding.
Which is to say: If you believed she was murdered by a conspiracy, you were way more likely to also believe she wasn't murdered at all.
