Conspiracy theory

What if Rolex as a brand them selves and some top executives in the company are actually backdooring watches themselves to select outlets for distribution at a higher value than retail???

They could just increase MSRP if they wanted, no need to back door them

They Help Make Sense of the World

The human mind is always on the lookout for patterns, which is why we may see a face when looking at clouds. Similarly, we also look for and see patterns in situations. We find causal explanations for events and a set of behaviors. It is a way of making sense of a chaotic world with tons of stimulation and random events.

A conspiracy theory provides an explanation for overwhelming events. It allows for the quenching of curiosity when there is insufficient data available about something. Basically, for humans, a false explanation is better than no explanation.

It makes sense, then, that conspiracy theories are more likely when there is minimal or conflicting information about a topic.

Conspiracies are also more prevalent when an event is very impactful and significant in many people’s lives, but the public is offered relatively mundane or incomplete explanations. Scientists conclude that conspiracies are a way for a person to have “cognitive closure.” This is thought to be a major appeal of conspiracies.

It's easy to think in terms of what you would do if given the chance. It's a part of how reasoning works. It doesn't mean anyone else would.

Why make unpopular models? Seems a waste of resources.

There isn’t a shortage. There just sitting with grey market dealers and being traded from dealer to dealer.
