Editing Conspiracy theory (section)

===Rothbard: shallow vs. deep===
[[Murray Rothbard]] argues in favor of a model that contrasts "deep" conspiracy theories to "shallow" ones. According to Rothbard, a "shallow" theorist observes an event and asks ''[[Cui bono]]?'' ("Who benefits?"), jumping to the conclusion that a posited beneficiary is responsible for covertly influencing events. On the other hand, the "deep" conspiracy theorist begins with a hunch and then seeks out evidence. Rothbard describes this latter activity as a matter of confirming with certain facts one's initial paranoia.<ref>{{cite journal|first=B.K.|last=Marcus|url=https://mises.org/library/radio-free-rothbard|title=Radio Free Rothbard|journal=[[Journal of Libertarian Studies]]|volume=20|issue=1|date=2006|pages=17–51|access-date=24 August 2023}}</ref>
