They will never come clean. Hell, the Kenedy assassination was almost 60 years ago. We will die before Historians figured out 'We Was Conned'.
Academia is dreadfully intellectually inbred.
Historian 'A' says something, 'B', 'C', and 'D' quote it, then all four are used as sources, but rarely does anyone go back to the original documents and accounts of what happened. Myths are thus constructed, and now anything contrary is labeled "Conspiracy Theory" because it is not in lockstep with the orthodoxy.
Science had a defense against that, in the access to data and methodology was open so other scientists could verify the findings independently or spot flaws in the methodology, but of late, data have not been provided (See also: "Climate Change"), methodology not released, and claims of 'consensus' (meaningless where dogma can override the truth) are substituted for scientific inquiry.
Small wonder the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
