The more people that must participate in a conspiracy for it to work, the less likely it is to be true.

Can 3 people keep a secret? Sure. Can 1000 people keep a secret? Hell no!

Sounds like something someone hiding a conspiracy would say .... we're on to you (adjusts and tightens up their tin foil hat)

After all these, you want to end up in hell?

People also vastly overestimate how many people need to be in the known to participate in a conspiracy.

The chemical companies who dumped pfas into the environment fully aware of their problems had thousands of employees, how many of them do you think were part of the plan to keep it under wraps?

It's very easy to come up with excuses and string people along, you don't need to sit them around a table and explain your evil plot.
