Anything that is making someone rich or powerful has been hyped in the marketplace (of goods and ideas) - of that you can be sure!
Problems arise when we mistake marketing for truth and most of what we hear about most things is just that- marketing, hype, spin- including what we see on the TV news and read in the daily newspapers.
The truth is marginalized when it doesn't suit powerful vested interests and that includes most areas of human endeavor and knowledge.
And when someone finally is presented with some unvarnished truth they usually reject it out of hand because it doesn't match the fantasy they've been sold for so long!
