In regards to the idea of debunking conspiracy theories, it isn't difficult if you strictly adhere to the easy-mode concept of "give me absolute proof right the fuck now or else you are wrong". It still does not often disprove a theory, it simply contests a theory.
My main point here is that it the easy route in a argument is to demand outright proof. Granted, you can fault the opposition for not stepping up with an A-game in the first place, but if you strictly adhere to the denial syndrome about any conspiracy theory, you really shelter yourself. I am not trying to be a smartass, but I am sure a lot of loyalists in the late 1700s thought all the American Colonists were conspiracy theorists and a lot of German loyalists in the 1930s thought people with anti-Hitler sentiments were simply whackjobs. Sometimes a gut instinct that something is wrong is very much true. When you adhere yourself to requiring proof laid on the table, you really do open the door to people with nefarious intent outright deceiving you.
Trust me, I worked in sales for a decent amount of time, when your goal is deception, a 'logical skeptic' is usually your best friend. People who wait until proof is in their face are people who are too late to do anything about it
