CONSPIRACY THEORISTS

Normaly, you want to explain something, you have your cause-effect timeline as your plan and proceed left-to-right.

A conspiracy theorist does it all back-to-front. They take the thing they want to explain, then do a right-to-left, picking back through history from the myriad factoids, those that suit their perverse argument.

Anyone can do that, but it's weird and unhelpful.
