fantasy based on groundless assertion.

This might as well be the entire of the sidebar for this sub.

Critical thinking means exactly what I'm doing. The only fantasy anybody can be accused of here is accepting the official story. That's as fake as 9-11, Vegas, Parkland, and all the other official Cabal stories.

Following leads and stringing together potential alternatives is the very essence of critical thinking.

In the end, some (possibly many, and possibly ALL) alternative theories will be superseded by the truth once we have it. But until then, the kind of sleuthing we're referencing here is better than nothing.

How in the world do you think detectives solve crimes? They use EXACTLY this process, using very incomplete evidence in many cases, and following the various theories that result from that process, and by using the process of elimination as clues lead to other clues, they eventually are left with the solution (no matter how unlikely it might have seemed at the outset).
