Nope. In virtually every case - it's the testing methodology that is to blame, or a lack of resolution in the system, or ???. If you can't tell in a DBT... then "trickery" and if you can tell simply by believing it to be so, then "science".All it'll take is for them to do a 'comparison' where they genuinely believed they heard a difference, yet nothing was actually done, to perhaps awaken to the fact that we and our minds are SO easily fooled and thereby ultimately ripped off by products like this. These people will just mock the likes of 'us' until they experience that.
I won't go political, but this argument seems to be ubiquitous in human society... western, eastern, there's no direction you can go that "I believe, so it is" isn't considered a valid argument by a significant majority. It just takes different forms.
On the one hand I find that sad, but on the other - who am I to worry about other people's money, time, votes, souls, etc? If it makes them happy then great for them. I am glad there is a small minority who are interested in testing and validation of any claims. That makes me happy, it's just very hard to find sometimes.
I wish "you do you" was a much more common attitude, but unfortunately it seems to be intrinsic to our nature to try to either save or condemn the opposition - regardless of what the topic is (or what the truth is for that matter).
