I could just as easily say Martians did it and when told that's rather silly, you certainly can't prove there aren't Martians so my theory must be equally valid to any other. We should be better than the same baseless conspiracy theories that vaccines cause autism, the Jewish space lasers, the moon landing was faked, etc.
