Yes.
I see what you mean. I suppose there is some sort of Ockhamite razor at work, where most people will readily accept a pattern they know (person installing puppet in public place) and not one they have never observed before (for instance: rabbi cabal successfully plotting for world power).More seriously though the difference between the assumption of someone affixing a cloth and a conspiracy theory is very small. You cannot rule out either, whereas you can use both to explain the present.
