Can you please, please try to put yourself in the shoes of someone who is a part of a huge conspiracy that you don't want anybody to find out about?

Think. You don't want anybody to find out about it. If they do, the conspiracy is destroyed. If you are connected to it, your life is destroyed. You would have to be incredibly mentally insane to want "credit for your work".

It doesn't matter if a "symbol" is "only known by a relatively small group of people", because apparently, you're one of those special people. And so is every conspiracy theorist, with regard to their choice conspiracy theory. So imagine the scenario where one, just one, person is convinced by these conspiracy theorists that maybe it's worth looking into. They do some investigating, find some evidence, more investigating ensues, and it's all downhill from there; the conspiracy is a huge failure, all because some idiot decided that he wanted "credit" for doing something that nobody wants him to do.

Conspiracy theorists are conspiracy theorists because they feel a sense of comfort in "knowing" the "truth" that they dreamed up. That's why we still have people that believe that the Earth is flat, that 9/11 was an inside job, and that the symbol of God's approval of the American Revolution on the U.S. seal represents a plot to overthrow the U.S. government. It's all silly, and when you spend your time on crap like this, you distract yourself from addressing real issues, not to mention make everyone think you're insane.
