In justifying the classification of a theory as a conspiracy theory,
detractors tend to level several accusations. That the theory is:

1. Not backed up by sufficient evidence.
2. Phrased in such a way as to be unfalsifiable.
3. Improbably complex.

Defenders point out that those that:

1. Those powerful people involved in the conspiracy hide, destroy, or
obfuscate evidence.
2. Skeptics are not (in their opinion) prepared to keep an open mind.
3. Skeptics may be politically motivated and have an interest in the
status quo.
