The Final Experiment

If we don't intend to change the minds of any of them by presenting solid evidence, then what are we doing here?
Conspiracy believers are hard to reach, I agree. They are not who I spend time trying to communicate with, thought they are often the ones I am in conversations with! But while conversing online with, say, a flat Earther, my purpose is not to change THEIR minds, though that would be nice, but rather to present just how silly their arguments are for the benefit of potential "undecideds" reading the conversation.

I think that's what we are, ultimately, doing here. Arming each other and visitors with the information needed to help prevent a conspiracy theorist (sincere or running a con) from misleading others. And I think there is value in that.
