It's not even a conspiracy, there's more than enough evidence it was a fabrication. The evidence was compiled not too soon after the event as details and entire sections on the plot were found to be hidden or just plain non-existent. This is the reason bills are coming in to control the internet, it makes it much harder to pull off these kinds of things when a few hundred people can casually collaborate and pick apart a situation like this in a matter of hours, and completely prove it's falsehood within a few weeks.
Most people have simply not looked into it at all. The fact is that an incident involving the murder of dozens of small kids is just too horrifying for most people to want to think about. That, of course, is why this particular storyline was used.
Something has to make people look into it and question. Once they do that they'll find that there's pretty much zero evidence that it actually occurred. This is remarkable!

Why isn't the knowledge that it was a hoax not common knowledge, in your opinion?
