Many "conspiracies" do seem to require implausible, superhuman feats of coordination driven by Machiavellian malfeasance.
These can be dismissed as improbable.
However, many horrible things happen in the world that are not driven by a plot, but by dumb nature, stupidity, or the conflux of human biological urges -- ill suited to a technologically advanced world.
Such "emergent" threats deserve greater consideration; particularly if the theory renders them (at first glance) plausible.
