New In the context of that story
you are basically stating that the CEO of WalMart is lying because his company will make more profit.

he was interviewed by a paper, who also had OTHER people quoted saying the same thing...(who must also be lying)...all to make Walmart more money...and you are telling me that that is not a conspiracy theory?

but your semantics are good...you are really just saying that >I< shouldn't believe him (because it is likely that this is a conspiracy theory to make walmart more money).

ok.
Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

New I see two people quoted
1. Wal-Mart U.S. CEO Bill Simon

2. John Long, a retail strategist at Kurt Salmon

One of them runs Wal-Mart, the other one gets paid by the industry Wal-Mart leads. Which means their interests are aligned.

They don't need to conspire to know they benefit from the same perception.

And USA Today? Just looking for a story? What's their angle? No counter claims? So they must be reporting to support the lie.
