      That’s funny to hear. I’d actually say this kind of thing that happens with electronics is unusual, and people do know what’s in their own best interest the vast majority of the time. Dunno if that puts me in the picture or not.

        and people do know what’s in their own best interest the vast majority of the time.

        Is that true if the vast majority of people are either uninformed or apathetic?
