No truer words were ever spoken.
When people are not being given complete information or the official story doesn't make sense or they catch the authorities feeding them spin, half truths and lies, they speculate on what the truth might be. Some of that speculation can get nutty, but some of it is probably closer to the bullseye. If the authorities want to avoid that kind of speculation, just provide the full truth (which of course they typically won't because they are typically hiding things).
