And long after the dust has settled from the tome that is the Cornwall inquiry report some will continue to believe in a conspiracy to cover-up the truth, experts and observers say.
An explanation that to some appears to debunk a conspiracy theory just further confirms others' suspicions, said University of Toronto psychology professor Jordan B. Peterson.
"It's very difficult to disprove a conspiracy theory, because every bit of disproving evidence can be just written off as additional evidence that these conspirators are particularly intelligent and sneaky," he said.

As a policeman in Cornwall, Ont., Dunlop uncovered what he called a pedophile ring involving prominent members of the community.
In 1993, Dunlop came across documents showing one alleged sexual abuse victim had received a $32,000 payout from the Alexandria-Cornwall Roman Catholic Diocese.
The fallout from the discovery eventually led to the OPP launching its four-year Project Truth investigation into abuse allegations.
It led to the laying of 114 charges against 15 prominent members of the community. However, only one person ever served jail time.
