This is exactly why I believe pizzagate, am a 9/11 truther, etc.
Don't conflate these two things. I know beans make people fart because of anecdotal evidence I've heard from different people. That doesn't make this "fact" wrong.
On the other hand, interpretation of public information is quite different.

Aside:
Also I have a small aside here for you personally. I'd like to remove something from your mind so that you never speak about it again. I don't want 9/11 truthers derided here on Hacker News because I consider the example to be one that should not be included here. Flat earthers? Sure.
As for 9/11: I'm not a "9/11" truther. I've never called for an investigation into it. I don't care about it. But for you, if you care about this subject for some reason, the standard for whether you should be a 9/11 truther, in the sense that you believe anyone had any prior knowledge those acts would be committed, is whether you find any leaks to that effect by such a government official.[1]
The standard regarding whether it is feasible for 9/11 to have included a controlled demolition is the opinion of civil engineers, whose profession this sort of thing is.[2]
So while I can't speak for you, I do have my own standards. This does not mean I'm a 9/11 truther. I'd like you to stop using it as an example, though. Use things that are false (like flat earth) if you want to make some kind of cheap point, please.
Note: I want to reiterate that I am in no way, shape, or form, a 9/11 truther.

This insider says "We are never going to look for who they are, and it's probably not worth looking for them." Her Wikipedia page is quite credible as an insider. In addition it includes major smears on her character and a complete refutation over the official channels you would expect. She meets the standard outlined above.
