Where on earth did you get the idea that I’m trying to ascribe conspiracy theory belief to any specific cause, much less a single one? That’s the exact dynamic I’m criticizing.
I got it from your comment. In the study, they were interested in many possible causes. They were surprised that almost all of them played a big role. They might have expected half to be meaningless. No-one was expecting a single cause. But expecting a single cause would still not make them prone to conspiracy. Some things do have a single cause.
