This is how conspiracy theories work.

Thousands of people corroborating one simple story, then a person or two at the scene confused about some information, and the conspirators run with that story and ignore everything else.

99% say one thing.

1% says another thing, and the conspirators take it as the gospel.

This is what happens when you have a damaged brain. Nervous breakdowns ensue, etc.
