Jerome Corsi has woven his conspiracy theory around I-35.

That's what I thought. But just because someone has a conspiracy theory doesn't mean they want it to be true. If and when Corsi realizes the theory had no basis in fact, I'd expect him to be relieved and find something else to occupy his time.

I use a medical analogy. I find a lump on my arm. Fears of cancer flood my thoughts, I do research, I talk to friends. This is the mode of thinking the conspiracy theorist has, to have seen a sign and to warn. This is all Corsi or any conspiracy theorist does. Doesn't mean I want cancer. I go to the doctor and get a biopsy. It turns out to be a cyst that is easily removed. I'm glad it wasn't cancer. I am not disappointed my conspiracy theory turned out to be nothing.

Does this crude analogy work?
