Lie-telling presupposes a shared reality that conspiracism rejects

Evidence

Liars do not claim to own reality. True, they lie and misrepresent a particular set of facts or events. But they assume and exploit a background condition of veracity. Liars do not create a reality wholesale; their goal is to deny a particular verity to achieve a particular purpose. — Russell Muirhead and Nancy L. Rosenblum, A Lot of People Are Saying, 162
