What's worse? Conspiracy theorists weaving fantastical tales from the thinnest of evidence or coincidence theorists weaving fantastical tales to obfuscate the plainly obvious factual conclusions?

Depends. Give me an example of the second, and explain how it's different than the first.

An example of the second is the Magic Bullet theory from the JFK assassination. Yes, a bullet did all those wonderful areoacrobatics, turning around and coming backwards into JFK after going through him once, only to fall out of his head, apparently, when he was put on the stretcher ... and, lo, it's undeformed!

The Magic Bullet Theory isn't something proposed by the conspiracy theorists to hide the truth of JFK's death. It's a sarcastic demonstration of the impossibility of the official story.

I'd call the official story a Coincidence Theory.
