mobilised and fact-checking what's really going on when these incidents
occur. I don't suppose the rather embarrassing presence of the flag would
have been revealed otherwise.

 Chaotic complex nonlinear systems have the property that their future
gross states can't be predicted far into the future, because they are
exquisitely sensitive to the cant-be-exactly-known current state.
 But the chaos effect works in negative time too. T=0 is an arbitrary
instant. So the causality of the present is suspect in a chaotic
system too.
 So most any conspiracy theory has a chance of being true.

If you are as bad at doing joined up logic as John Larkin is, this may look like a convincing argument.
