Except that some _do_ find discrepancies, according to what has been written on-List; I'm not saying I accept their views, but I'm keeping the possibility in mind. A conspiracy involving thousands is exceedingly unlikely, I agree. What I think has me 'smelling something rotten' are the various other oddities and discrepancies (as others have already listed, frex the Saudis flying out unquestioned AFAIK); I think it is far more likely that 'the conspiracy' (instead of our gov't. actually setting up the towers to be blown) will turn out to be deliberate ignoring of and/or covering up of pre-Day intel that such a terror attack was imminant. IOW, lying. 'There are no secret prisons for terror suspects.' 'No one connected with this administration had anything to do with outing a CIA agent.' And so forth.
