This whole thread is silly, your opening argument is just a straw man fallacy.
Asking psychologists to pathologize anyone who doubts "consensus reality" is simply asking them for their own projections, and these studies say just as much about the "researchers" as the subjects.
The world is full of conspiracies in the strict sense of the term, as Kingpins above noted, it's also called human nature. How many secrets do we all hold? We all know the answer to that one. Do we tell the truth always? Likewise. Why expect anyone else to be different? The world is made up of spin and lies mixed with full and half truths. It's our job to sort one from the other.
