    Yep, this pretty much nails it.

    The conspiracy makes them feel a sense of importance that they can’t get in any other aspects of their lives. It is sad, these people cause real harm to those around them with these fantasy worlds they buy into.

    Telling them they are wrong, often just feeds the delusion; because you don’t know the secrete, this makes them feel more of the same, feeding the conspiracy further.
