If 1 in 20 conspiracy theories are correct then you'll be 95% correct if you disbelieve all of them.

If you pick one to believe in you'll be about 90% correct on average.

If you pick 10 you'll be about 50% correct.

The reason why reality and what people believe about reality diverge so heavily is because reality is based on mathematics while people's belief about reality is based on their experiences of the past. And past experiences fail to predict things like exponential growth or new theories or developments in technology.
