I can't speak for you because I don't know what your values are, but if I knew that the U.S. government was secretly mass-murdering its citizens, I would decide that the best thing I could do would be to reform or overthrow that government. I'm sure if I thought for five minutes I could come up with a way to do this. If there is a 9/11 conspiracy then I really want to know that there is a 9/11 conspiracy.
A better reason for making the 9/11 conspiracy theory harder to notice would involve its sheer implausibility.
"Somebody would have noticed" if there were a way to reform or overthrow the US government that you could come up with after five minutes of thinking about it. If there were, someone would have not only thought of it, but done it too.
You're right. Someone would have done something.
