Yes, most businesses and individuals are honest.  Its just that what _they_
think is received wisdom is not worth spit to _me_.  And since I do not
have the time to disprove all claims of charlatans, it seems reasonable
for the burden of proof to fall upon upon those making the wonderful
assertions.

I say: if they don't provide a Popperian criterion of 'falsifiability' of
their claims, then pop 'em off.
