Theoretically possible is a really low bar.

What is the divergence between

  "theoretically plausible conspiracy"

and

  "Conspiracy theories often use factual information but make connections where there aren’t any"

Lincoln made the statement himself.

This is one of those things that has been covered up by fake historians.

The only way to find truth in the midst of deceptiveness is first to receive the love of the truth. (2 Thessalonians 2:10)

To find a man more trustworthy than Lincoln would be extremely difficult.

That is to say, I take Lincoln at his word.

Just because you’re a kook, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a conspiracy.

“How exactly are the two mutually exclusive?”

Good question. Successful people don’t re-define the word ‘conspiracy’ to mean ‘any interpretation of events I don’t like’

The idea that conspiracies do not exist is just horse💩.
They do exist just not everything is controlled by one.
I can list several right off the top of my head that are well documented.

German Governments secret plan to create a revolution in Russia in WW1:

McCarthy was correct, Soviet espionage indeed infiltrated the USA.

The federal reserve was created through secret meetings:

https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/jekyll-island-conference#:~:text=The%20meeting%20and%20its%20purpose,be%20the%20Federal%20Reserve%20System.

By their very nature conspiracies are secretive.
