Why were so many people believers in the conspiracy that 9/11 was an inside job - eviltoast

When Al-Qaeda themselves claimed responsibility, even with overwhelming evidence aside? Why were so many people still reluctant, I was researching about this stuff and was shocked to see people who I respect a lot believe in this

    Do you really think it is insane to believe the US made up the moon landing as a propaganda campaign against Russia?

    Which moon landing? All of them? There was more than one. And yes I think it is very nearly insane given how much evidence we have.

      If you want to take this to a philosophical extreme so you understand my argument, is it possible to ever know anything with certainty?

      What do you call evidence? Photos, videos, testimony… Do I personally trust in that evidence? Yes, it would be very unlikely to be fake, but many unlikely conspiracies have surfaced in the past.
