We all believe in UFOs. Are there objects? Yes. Do some of them fly? Yes. Are some people unable to identify some of the objects which fly? Yes. Those are Unidentified Flying Objects, eh?
The mental defect is in thinking that being unable to identify a given flying object means one is justified in inventing explanations based on imagination, bad movies and stuff said by other idiots who "believe" things instead of applying useful means of verifying hypotheses. This is where conspiracy theorists fail. I don't think the JFK assassination is adequately explained by LHO acting completely alone. But even if I were 100% sure of this, it wouldn't justify me inventing ridiculous scenarios which do explain the assassination but aren't supported by actual evidence. It's the same fallacy as ~Evolution, therefore Jesus.
Of course, Joe has a plethora of mental defects--the foremost being that he believes that he has none.
