Conspiracy theories of one sort or another tend to get a lot of
coverage.

Partly. It is also the aspect of solving the mystery. Face it, people
are suckers for the truth, Bubba. (Sorry, stole that line from the
film, "JFK"). But seriously, a conspiracy implies we don't know or
understand it all, therefore, the large number of responses.
