I kind of don't think that could be it, simply because the conspiracy theorists are in a really tiny minority. Keeping *them* distracted from the gross incompetence isn't going to be that much of a help. But because they're so highly motivated to find the dirt, distracting them from real dirt could be a *huge* help; they're likely to be the ones who find it, if there is any. And I think there is *some*. The most glaring evidence that something funny was going on is what happened on the stock market in the days before the attack. I haven't seen anybody even attempt to make a case that that was benign. On the other hand, it's usually just mentioned in passing as one of the "unanswered questions." I'm unaware of anyone who is seriously trying to dig up information on it. Seems to me it would be the key to the whole thing. Yet people are much more fascinated by the controlled- demolition and "Where's the plane?" scenarios, which just aren't going to get anywhere definitive (unless somebody 'fesses up).
