Can’t blame him for trying. It puts a seed of an alternate story into our minds. How do other streams of “alternative facts” get started? And many people want to believe that Big Medicine is keeping breakthroughs from us.

I can. I can definitely blame people for being amoral unless they have some brain damage/dysfunction whereby they don't know the difference.

You were probably just using a common phrase in some non-literal way, but I absolutely _can_ blame someone for lying in an attempt to make money, all the more so when it is around medical and legal issues.
