Hail TheBrit!
Have you heard of Occam's Razor?
The modern interpretation of this 14th century theory of methodological reductionism can be stated as:
"Of two competing theories or explanations, all other things being equal, the simpler one is to be preferred."
Snopes like most competent sources for debunking pseudoscientific or otherwise improbable claims use this methodology to provide more plausible explanations to outrageous claims.
Sadly, logic will often suck the magic out of life.
