Of course. That which merits our attention must first pass the bogosity
test. Things that might be going on, that we can't see yet, argue for
better vision, not more attention. (Thanks for providing "better vision"
in regard to "white powder of gold" which requires no more of our
attention.)
Come the Singularity, we'll off all snake oil peddlers.

pluralistic, tolerant, and in constant flux.
