In Reply to: Yes and no, what's the opportunity cost, Todd? posted by real_jj on June 20, 2006 at 17:21:12:
"Is there a cost when the money goes to somebody who is just wrong (we'll assume confusion, delusion, etc, rather than malice) rather than when it goes to something based in reality?"It's up to the person spending the $$$ to decide.... All we can do is kindly provide information and bring up the slogan "Caveat Emptor"....
I don't believe in most of the stuff either.... But I don't think it should be your or my business regarding those who do believe in such products.
