    Just wanted to add . . .

    . . . that I don't think that this means all accounts are equally true. It is up to the community (scholarly, public, what have you) to weigh the various interpretations and the evidence and reach a consensus on what is more likely than not. Conspiracy theorists like the ones in the article will continue to be at the margins because their theories will never be able to withstand close scrutiny.
