Mike, It is certainly not a conspiracy, but it is a "coagulation" of like-minded individuals hoping for a certain conclusion or outcome of fact.

It is a predisposition of factual outcome. All within the group betting in one direction. This is a personal prejudice for preferred results. Everyone trying to prove something, all on the same side of the issue.

This "titration" or "distillation" of like-minded human philosophy/opinion/prejudice is more likened to a political movement...the Tea Party, for instance.

So, in effect, what this makes the issue one of a POLITICAL nature, rather than one of a SCIENTIFIC nature.
