Do you think that is a bit of a hasty generalization?
While I happen to agree as would most other people with a modicum of formal education and particularly in math, science and geography that the flat earth "believers" are going against hundreds of years of accumulate scientific and mathematical discoveries and making some pretty outlandish and foolish claims, not all conspiracy theorists are the same and not all of the conspiracies they believe in are as hooky or outlandish and as the flat earth crowd.

For example I happen to believe and can make some very strong fact based arguments that there was a conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy and his brother Robert. The odds of two brothers from the same family and political ideology being assassinated in such a short interval of time is something that can not be ignored. I also happen to believe and can make some very strong factual based arguments that the Federal Reserve was an instrument designed by the rich elites to control the US in terms of politics, make themselves uber rich and control the US the economy. The Rothschild Family being one of the most prominent families of elites involved in the Federal Reserve.

There are more than a few people who have criticized me and labeled me as a nut, as a conspiracy theorist and as an uneducated loon. However, most of those people either believed that the Federal Reserve is a part of and owned by the US Federal Government, knew nothing of who actually wrote the legislation that put the Fed in place and how it was passed, that the there were not previous assignation attempts/threats on President Kennedy before that fateful day in Texas where a sitting US president was murdered in broad day light and that state law and jurisdiction was violated when the presidents body was taken from the State medical examiner and given to the secret service before a proper autopsy could be completed.

The Book of Mormon is very clear about the existence of secret combinations in BOM times and we are repeatedly taught that Mormon chose the topics and history that he wrote about specifically because these topics and events would pertain to our day. Therefore I believe it is safe to say that there are some very legitimate conspiracy theories out there and that people who research these theories and believe in them are not all the same batch of uneducated loons who claim to see and know things that others do not/have not that they all too often portrayed to be.

The flat earth conspiracy just happens to be one of the least plausible to believe and least supported by legitimate evidence.
