Explaining that your claim cannot be proven or verified because the truth is being hidden and/or evidence destroyed by a group of two or more people. When that reason is challenged as not being true or accurate, the challenge is often presented as just another attempt to cover up the truth and presented as further evidence that the original claim is true.
Examples:
- Noah’s ark has been found by the Russian government a long time ago, but because of their hate for religion, they have been covering it up ever since.
Synonyms: canceling hypothesis, canceling hypotheses, cover-ups
