message: Proposed addition:
In law, a conspiracy theory can be presented as a 'theory of the case' or logical description of events an attorney wants the judge or jury to adopt as their own perception of the underlying situation.

thread_title:  Use of 'conspiracy theory' in law 

message: I added this disambiguation, because it seems very important to apprise readers of the fact that the  pejorative meaning of "conspiracy theory", though probably the most widespread meaning, is not the only usage of the term, as confirmed in virtually all respected dictionaries, which acknowledge multiple usages with different meanings, one of which is simply neutral and non-pejorative. This is discussed at great length, and well-elucidated in the link which I propose, to Philosophy of Conspiracy Theory Joseph Rowe (talk) 21:28, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

replies: text:  There is no overall consensus of philosophers who hold that the term should be defined non-pejoratively. If that's how you interpret Philosophy of conspiracy theories, then there is something very wrong with that article. - LuckyLouie (talk) 03:24, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

text: Please refer to CAT:DABP; disambiguation is used to resolve conflicts when articles about two or more different topics could have the same "natural" page title. Philosophy_of_conspiracy_theories and Conspiracy theory do not have the same title and need no disambiguation. Also, you can't zero in on selected philosophic opinions while ignoring others, and then treat the selected opinions as if they were a notable consensus. And speaking of WP:CONSENSUS, it's the way we work here on Wikipedia, I encourage you to read up on it. - LuckyLouie (talk) 23:32, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

text: It is not sufficient to merely provide a verbose discussion of the reasons why you think a change should be made; your argument must be persuasive enough that others agree that it is reasonable. That is clearly not the case. I would suggest that you slow down and take a look at prior edit warring discussions. --mikeu talk 00:14, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
