This is more along the lines of what I intended. I suppose I could have worded the OP better.

More mundane than most responses, typically with the answer being a number.

And I think seeing a tally of every song and every album I’ve ever played would be so awesome.

Every explanation that deviates even slightly from the Official Government Report is simply a “conspiracy theory” and should be ignored by the citizenry.

Why question the Warren Report and not the 9/11 Commission and Project Blue Book?
