3. not even convince--just delay cohesion and activism

with enough smoke you don't need anyone to worry if there's a fire!

it's the same reason any old myths get repeated: they circulate within a small group and just keep getting spit back out at intervals: I've seen some eccentricities get kicked around like cans for 180 years

and if anyone challenges them their whole field's just dismissed out of hand ... (or they're accused of being a NWO/Jesuit plant!)
