For sure - "conspiracy theorists" are just another group of people trying to find truth, patterns in the world and trying to connect the dots. The cork board feel was very much intentional in some of the visualizations. Specifically, the "lie web" visualization that uses "red yarn" visuals to connect detected contradictions across different entities and documents.

If I had the skills, I would totally map that onto a cork board.
