Yeah. That's been my take on it too.
The thing to remember, though, is that, for the most part, there are not a lot of complicit bad guys in the industry operating primarily w/ avarice. These people are convincing because they really do believe what they're telling you. Hell, most of them have done it to their own kids, too. That includes Betty Sembler and Miller Newton.
They have no idea the damage they do to people. They simply refuse to entertain the notion that there could be even a minor flaw in their philosophy. They attack all critics as flawed and as liars. They just don't get it, at all.
When I started as a federal narcotics agent, the budget that we were working with, it was less than $5 million a year, and there was only 125 agents for the entire world to work the narcotic trade that we were fighting in those days. Times have changed. The gluttony has grown.
