Why are conspiracy theorists called theorists?

The opposite of a conspiracy is a scheme for benevolence. To expect there to be plans for good is to be a benevolence theorist, right?
People who doubt conspiracy theorists or call them crazy often talk like they have high faith in leaders. Why?

Have you ever [i][c=003BB2]thought[/c][/i] about that?

What do "benevolence theorists" require to accept that the powers or leaders they trust in do not have good will at heart for them? Especially here in the West?

Has the world really been looking like benevolence was the aim by the powers in control? Are things getting better? Is life getting easier with all the power, influence, and money being siphoned after pillaging foreign nations? Or has it truly been conspiracy after conspiracy? Life getting worse and worse for [b]you[/b]? Do the people you viciously defend the image of not conspire against you?

And this is a serious question. I'm talking the laws passed, do they really serve you? Or do they find scheme after scheme to plot against you and either drive you that much more insane or force that much more money from you into their hands? 馃

Conspiracies may or may not exist, hence they may or may not be theoretical.
All conspiracies benefit someone so they can all be considered beneficial.
@Convivial Yeah, but if you want to get technical, unless there's definitive evidence proving the conspiracy, it's a hypothesis, not a theory. A theory is a proven hypothesis.

@LordShadowfire interesting but I'm not sure that last bit is correct...a theory is still something hypothetical that fits the known facts at the time... It's not yet proven to be the truth
@Convivial I think you're confusing the layperson's definition of a theory with a scientific theory. I can provide documentation.

@LordShadowfire I'm not confusing them in my mind, just sticking to the generally agreed definition... Many people use words indiscriminately...I try not to
@Convivial Well, then, just know I'm going by the scientific definition, not the layperson's definition. Both can be right, depending on your perspective, but I don't choose to give conspiracy "theories" the level of respect that word implies.

@LordShadowfire I would agree with that statement... Most of these theories may have a small kernel of truth at their centre... The rest is imagination
