I don't agree, although it seems to work for most. What was seemingly random or evil about the Moon Landing? > It serves to try and give a sense of control over an otherwise > uncontrollable situation. Perhaps. I think most often conspiracy theories begin to emerge when the actual explanation of an event seems to contradict common sense. This is the one aspect I see in common: "The towers would never fail like that! They'd topple over sideways!" "The flag shouldn't move on the moon! There's no wind!" "Oswald couldn't have hit Kennedy that many times from that position!" And then the general ones: "It was too well planned only terrorists!" "It was too obvious for them to miss; there must have been a cover up!" "It was too well organized; the government must have been involved!" "Too many people wanted this to happen; they must have been working together!"
