It doesn’t work because either they find a way to make their theories compatible; there can still be logical inconsistencies, because ultimately the theories aren’t logically sound anyway.
Alternatively, they write one another off as delusional. A person who doesn’t believe in any conspiracy theories can still be “saved”, but someone who believes another incompatible theory is beyond redemption.
It's like the story with the three Jesuses. Lock three people who believe they're literally Jesus into a room, all of them walk out still believing that they're Jesus, and convinced that you just locked them into a room with two madmen.
