"Conspiracy nuts"?
This is just another ritual epithet designed to abort the thinking process of attentive listeners. It is a curse that absolves the one who utters it from addressing inconsistencies or evidence.
As I parodied above, why is so much money spent on "intelligence" collection and field operations by so many nations if there are no conspiracies?
After all, you'd think that someone proud of his military service learned "loose lips sink ships" meant that, indeed, some plots are kept secret.
Isn't the official 9/11 narrative a conspiracy theory, that some guys got together and planned their actions in secret? It seems, then, that a conspiracy nut is someone who believes in a different conspiracy from the flummoxed utterer of the insult.
As to orders, some of us fat ignoramuses, actually understand there is a difference among (1) planning the order (conspiracy?), (2) giving the order, (3) obeying the order, and (4) the order succeeding. I respectfully suggest that best anaiysis does not conflate those very different phenomena. Under the heading of "the order succeeding," I paraphrase Stalin, "How many divisions does the Sheriff have?"
