So at least time is the judge this time and fortunately or unfortunately (depends on which side u ar), it is quite a short time (1 year+).
If i learn one thing from this saga, it is that the incentive force is so strong that is probably better to stop trying our best effort in talking sense to the vested interest.
I reckon that the motivation of any posting shouldn't be trying to "talk sense to the vested interest" - as much as it should be anything to do with "win an online argument", "proving you are right", "2nd guessing the other party's posting intentions" or "trying to convince yourself". All these are not contributory to having a healthy discussion on the forum for OPMIs.
Rather it should be about "keeping an open mind", "readily be willing to be proven wrong" and "ready to see new blind spots by taking the outside view". I reckon with the latter, knowledge can compound just as much as our monetary wealth does - Knowledge and monetary wealth actually synergizes! (knowledge creates monetary wealth, monetary wealth allows knowledge to be leveraged and the effect just snowballs..)
