What is the heuristic though? Not giving "normal data" still makes you an outlier, yes, probably they are not very smart, but at some point someone will say "let's round up people that gave us too few data, they are suspicious".

I bet that if all conspiracy theorists will be more worried that their neighbors become crazy and would try to do something positive about it (talk to them, befriend them, influence them, etc.) the outcome might be better for everybody.
