Conspiracy Analyst is a far more dignified label than "Conspiracy Theorist". Lets deprogram their terms and replace it with superior ones.

Not that I disagree with you, for there is nothing wrong with your idea, however, I feel its the word 'Conspiracy' that is the detrimental word in that label.
All the derogitory comments usually made by most people unaware of the level of real conspiracy affecting our lives throughout the past century, mostly come from the perseptions created by the media and TV Shows, that conspiracies are usually ridiculous, unbelievable, unfounded claims made by the crazy and mentally deranged loners, and/or paranoid schizophrenics.
We know this is most likely not the case even though some may very well be paranoid...maybe even schizo to boot.
Most of what is discussed with evidence should be treated as such...But Im all for using a different word other than 'Conspircy' to describe these things.
The problem is there is hardly a better word that fits the full description of what entails a real conspiracy. The thesaurus doesnt do any justice.
And even harder is breaking the social conditioning that gives that word such a negative connotation to begin with.
