In any instance where the facts are not known there will be speculation, and often that speculation will reflect the political biases of the speculators. But the presence of questionable alternative explanations does not render the Official Story true by default. In fact, the opposite might tend to be true: When the Official Story seems conspicuously incomplete, a large number of alternative explanations will tend to propagate, most of which will be wrong.
If a puppy is placed into a herd of one hundred cattle, one cannot transform the puppy into a cow simply by "rounding down to zero." Ergo, sometimes things must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
