This is "widely held" in the same way that it is widely held that the US govt murdered John F Kennedy. The proof has been hidden, and so many theories about how and why exist, but in their guts most people believe this to be true.

And you know this....how? Where do you get your notion that most people believe this to be true?
-That- is my question, Strange. You have a habit of declaring that huge percentages of people agree with you on a given topic (99% of TFP, etc), and then being unwilling or unable to substantiate your claims of support. You simply keep falling back on "everyone knows" and "it's common knowledge" and "XYZ(huge) percent agree with me" rather than providing support for any of the things you state. If you're going to claim that huge percentages of people agree with you, you need to be able to substantiate those claims or else they're going to be treated as nothing more that hot air, especially since you have a distinct propensity for claiming this during discussions where -nobody- agrees with you.
Even when we're discussing conspiracy theories, Strange, that doesn't float. Even conspiracies require -some- kind of workable standards of proof, or else we might as well all go whole-hog and subscribe to David Icke and his "Reptilian" nonsense. It's one thing to discuss secret societies and their impact on world affairs or the conduct of wealthy families: it's quite another to state that the members of those families are actually telepathic shape-shifting 7-foot lizards from another planet...
and EVERYone knows it!
