When you start a new language, you learn “The Rules” first, and wonder why your first language doesn’t have such immutable “Rules.”
Then when you get fluent, you realize there are just as many exceptions as your first language.
Reminds me of one class I had in high school right after lunch. The teacher was occasionally late getting back to class from the bar.
That was a very long way to say electric boats are bad because they’re preferable to sharks.
That was a big talking point a few years ago. Polling companies stubbornly held on to calling landlines for too long, but the only people who had landlines were not representative of the voting population.
They try to correct for things like age, income, race, etc, by weighting the answers to match the wider population, but it’s hard to correct for things like “stubbornly old-fashioned regardless of physical age.”
Falsification of business records is apparently a “trivial matter” to a certain kind of person with government contracts.

Also in 2022, Texas had 9.0% of the population of the USA.

In your case, I’m guessing lots of people have heard the horror stories of shitty, scammy repair techs in various fields (automobiles being one prominent example). The good ones have to deal with the occupational reputation driven by the worst of them.
For me, I don’t consider myself a real expert in any specific subject, but I’m adjacent to a number of financial areas. I try not to delve into the weeds of those internet discussions too often (like I said, not an ironclad expert), and even when I do, it’s only to address the most egregious errors. Money can be an emotional topic, and many of those opinions are based on the way people want the world to be rather than the way it is, so show up with facts and references and they tend to understand.
It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?
