They aren't saying "don't talk about scientific conspiracies" and are instead saying "don't talk about conspiracies as though something being scientifically plausible means it is automatically worth discussing as a possibility."

Also, apply Hanlon's Razor(1) to this. Is it more likely that people made a stupid choice and gambled that everything would be fine? Or is it more likely that they completely understood what they were choosing and decided to implement a grand conspiracy which continued after they were no longer in power?
