AB- if the research is based on wacky YouTube videos and random internet pages then its not surprising that its not taken seriously. Its not an open mind thats required its more that the logic of the argument has to at least make sense which it doesn't with both the 9/11 conspiracy and chemtrails. When I start reading stuff about sylphs sucking up the chemtrails and some bloke with a camcorder looking at cirrus saying this is all the work of QF64 then I cant take it seriously. I think I do have an open mind but eventually I will decide which point of view I accept based on the arguments of both sides.
