Please don't be nasty. If you disagree with OP's idea, that's great. Just don't call OP or the idea BS. Let the market decide--it's ultimately smarter than you (or me).

That's not really true. Snake oil salesman was an actual profession until government regulation.

Either way, calling OP and the idea BS is part of how the market decides.

Big difference between tinkering with an idea vs. tinkering with someone's bodily health, with no skin in the game.

You mean the same market the decided Justin Bieber is a good musician? The same market that allowed Hillary and Trump to pass the primaries?

grzm is reposting a comment, taken out of context, from my comment history. But I'll respond anyway: the market didn't necessarily decide that Bieber is a good musician, only that he provides "value," whatever that may be--behavior, personality, music, sex appeal, etc. As for for Hillary and Trump, yep, same market ;).

Decided? Or were led to "decide"?
