Let them think they're special, that they've uncovered some deep secret and that somehow that makes them better than the rest.

That's what it's really about, conspiracy theorists will latch onto any crackpot idea that will make them feel like they are "in" on something and if only the rest of the world would see it their way then they would gain the recognition and respect that they imagine that they deserve while tossing out buzzwords like "sheeple" and "drink the kool-aid".

And by the way, I'm currently working in an office full of PhD engineers and statistical theoreticians (focusing specifically in large-scale construction) and they have a laugh riot every time someone email forwards one of those bullshit 9/11 conjectures.
