… that was kinda the point of the study? It straight up says that the authors think the current inconsistencies in the literature regarding whether one political side has a higher predisposition to believing in a conspiracy is because of how the studies conceptualize “conspiracy theories” differently.

All this (both the article, and people’s reaction to it) seems to indicate to me that we probably need a new word for “the idea of a conspiracy” that is independent from its truth. Like “conspiracy supposition” or something like that.
