        If you think the general public would come behind what wormhole X-treme is concealing, you’d have to believe in stargate being real irl as well. Something like that.

          It’s a matter of scale.

          For a conspiracy to be realistic, to even function at all, the smallest possible amount of people would have to be involved in maintaining it.

          Even before the end SG1, the Stargate Program involved thousands of individuals across multiple countries, and multiple departments, including civilian. That’s just counting the ones that are supposed to be involved with the Stargate Program.

          Beyond a certain scale no amount of plausible deniability will be enough to keep something secret. And that needs to be respected in story telling in order to suspend disbelief.
