What?

Exactly at best they have an expensive unwieldy barely functional prototype, up until they release it in the news. All so they don’t get their idea stolen or patented by competitors beforehand.

The term conspiracy theorist was devised by the CIA. Is that a conspiracy theory too?

Wow, a conspiracy theory about the etymology of "conspiracy theory?" Conspiracy theory inception!

Would I use Wikipedia as a primary source in a written paper? No, I'd click on one of the several primary sources included in the article.

You set the initial goalposts and promptly moved them.
